Interesting on their own. Fabulous when combined.

Think how true that is when pulling together seven of your best friends on a Saturday night. Each person in the circle may have his or her own personality, with different interests and tastes, but the common bond of friendship and fun unites the group together in harmony.

We believe there is an art to blending the distinctively different together. At Seven Daughters, we view the winemaking process as a rare opportunity to combine the skills of scientists with the souls of artists. The goal of wine blending is to produce a perfect, unified balance, incorporating different flavor profiles into a single wine greater than the sum of its parts.  And we’re not afraid to mix it up seven ways.

Learn how each grape brings something special to a bottle of Seven Daughters Winemaker’s Blend.
