Rows 3 & 4 were part of the original vineyard planted in 1983. Buffalo has been very popular and more rows have been planted over the years. The last planting (rows 88 & 89 north end) were done in 2005. The rows on the East side and back part of the vineyard are trained to a Geneva Double Curtain trellis, which means there are 2 top wires 4 feet apart (like utility poles) This gives the vines more room to grow.

Winemaking Notes |
Most people like buffalo wine with a sweet finish. It makes a "candy-like" ruby red wine. We incuded some buffalo grapes in two wines that we had at our daughter's, (Liz & Mark) wedding in 2006. It was a very pleasant "grapey" tasting wine. |
Variety NotesMore Info |
