hambourcin, the state red grape of Kansas, makes up a little under 50% of the acreage planted at Grace Hill’s Vineyards. And naturally, it’s not planted in just one block of the vineyard, but 4 different ones.

This particular wine is made from two of those blocks. Our Old Vine Chambourcin, the oldest vines in our vineyard, which were planted in 2005, comprised half of it, while the other half comes from our Second Son block, which are on the far end of our vineyard and planted in 2010, named Second Son because they tend to be neglected like a second son (our founder Dave was a second son and came up with this name of course!)
