The founding concept of Kalin Cellars is to employ such artisanal methods as hand selection of grapes; barrel fermentation and sur lies aging of white wines; fermentation in wood with hand punching down for red wines; long-term barrel aging of red wines to produce wines of enduring value with traditional European style and character. Kalin Cellars invests the same time-consuming and labor-intensive methods producing wines in the Grand European Tradition but for American budgets!
