Background
La Bratta is the name of the nearby mountain village where Garry's mother was born, and the first family vines were planted in northern Italy.
The La Bratta Rosso and La Bratta Bianco wines now represent Garry's personal selection of the best red wine and best white wine barrels from the best vintages in the Forest Grove vineyard.
Made in small numbers, not made to a formula, each La Bratta wine is a reflection of our vineyard and our family.
Winemaking
Merlot and Cabernet Franc fermented in open top fermenters and Cabernet Sauvignon in static fermenters -Pumped over thrice daily.
