EXCITING NEW WAYS TO TASTE AT VIVÁC!
New tasting menus, wine flights paired with sweet or savory plates & even picnic items will now be available at the Tasting Room!
We will finally be getting proper glassware to enhance your tasting & drinking pleasure. We have been selling Riedel glasses for a while now, but haven’t been tasting our wines out of them due to the upfront cost...until now! Riedel glassware places the wine in your mouth & over your palate in a specific way to highlight the attributes of the wine. This gives you the best in a wine tasting experience. The specific Riedel glass we have chosen speaks to the wine making approach Chris & I use. We can’t wait for you to try them!
EARTH DAY CELEBRATION:
Sunday April 22nd 2pm
We host "The Great Salmon Run (Songs of the Fishermen)" written by Sylvia Ernestina Vergara, featuring the 2012 "Embudo Valley Performance Cast" & "Embudo Valley Flowing Stream Ensemble (water orchestra)".
Here in our community & across the world, water is sacred & a disintegrating commodity. We must focus on the protection of threatened Wild Salmon and its habitat in Bristol Bay, Alaska in addition to the Northern New Mexico local fish, waterlife, acequias & rivers we know & love.
This celebration is evoked with poetry, drama, music, song & dance showing how animal & plant interdependence is part of a greater whole.
Vivác Winery is dedicated to the preservation of our local land & water rights. We welcome you to join in the celebration of Earth Day held in our new beautiful vineyard located at our Tasting Room (junction of Hwy 68 & Hwy 75). Keep the land agricultural, keep the water rights in our community & start local to save the planet.
THE SWEETER SIDE OF VIVÁC:
Vivác Winery is now offering something a little sweeter! We have released a slightly off dry Riesling, a proprietary sweet white blend called "Luminosa" (Luminescent) and a traditional Port style, fortified wine called "Amante" (Lover).
The Riesling has only a hint of sweetness with firm acidity making it perfect for dry wine drinkers as well as those that enjoy sweets. Our “Luminosa” is a bit sweet, but continues to have some acidity & a hint of oak which rounds out this wine. The "Amante" is made from Tempranillo grapes, aged in oak for 3 years & is fortified making it the perfect sipping wine after dinner.
Don’t worry, all of our sweeter wines are made without adding sugar or sorbate. We simply stopped fermentation prematurely leaving a little of the grape’s natural sweetness in the wine. This means there are no off flavors & the wines still have that wonderful acidity you love from Vivác! It takes skill & artistry to make a quality sweet wine, we believe we have that here. We encourage you to try them with spicy dishes, Chinese food, assorted cheeses or as dessert!
