Eve's Wine 101

From the Santa Clarita Vintners and Growers Association, a Dragonfly Update:

by

Dragonfly is glad to be a part of the newly forming Santa Clarita Vintners and Growers Association. This group of winemakers and growers really know their craft and are not only all very good friends but inspiration to each other as well. Dragonfly couldn’t have taken the next step without the involvement of this group of very passionate professionals.

Just a quick introduction to the winery and what the production focus will be for the Santa Clarita Valley to enjoy:

A tremendous passion for wine…this is what drives Dragonfly Winery’s Steve Lemley and Nate Hasper to dedicate countless hours producing what they believe are truly extraordinary wines. For years, these two winemakers perfected their craft from home. Now, they are taking their wine-making expertise to the next level, launching the Dragonfly Winery to share their passion with wine lovers everywhere.

What makes Steve and Nate’s wines so unique? They aren’t afraid to bend the rules. Indeed, after producing many award-winning wines, they learned the rules. And they also learned how to break tradition to produce wines that truly stand alone.

They started their business in the Santa Clarita Valley, a community known for their incredible love of wine. Determined to keep the local spirit of their wines, they are proud to be Santa Clarita’s first commercial wine producers.
Through the support of their friends, family and community, their love and dedication for making wine has been a success. They hope this support continues as they produce future wines now that the rest of the Santa Clarita community can purchase and enjoy soon.

Dragonfly Winery is focused on producing very small quantities of ultra premium terrior driven wines. There is no expense spared in finding the highest quality grapes and showcasing small vineyards that offer unique characteristics that would normally be overlooked by larger producing wineries.

Each vintage’s lot has a limited production of 50 cases or less. This philosophy allows them to manage the very complex tasks that are required to make world class wines. They believe in offering a true vision of the vineyard’s terrior paired with a unique winemaking style. The wines are kept in their truest form and free from any blending, fining or filtering.

This year’s releases will be lots of 25 cases or less and will more than likely only be available on the website and for wine club members through shipments. The club is building very fast and given the small amounts of wine that will be available, a waiting list may be made available for the club in the next few months.

To show appreciation for all of the support received, Dragonfly is offering a free bottle of wine shipped to new club members if they join by the end of March. They will also be working with the premier wine bars and restaurants in Santa Clarita to provide a small amount of wine.

Dragonfly is proud to be a part of this great cause and will be pouring some of their upcoming releases at the Wine Classic on May 30th. (Your favorite SCV wine writer will be hovering…)
