Meet Joe and Shamai Buckel:  Based in Gunnison Colorado Where wine is handcrafted with minimal intervention that capture the essence of Colorado’s terroir and spirit. Nestled in the heart of the Gunnison Valley in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, our small, family-owned winery is dedicated to crafting wines that truly reflect the spirit of the land and the unique character of each vineyard and season. Whether you’re a dedicated wine enthusiast or just discovering your palate, our small batch wines offer a taste of Colorado’s rugged beauty and a passion for winemaking.

The grapes come from family farms that prioritize practices beneficial to the soil, vines, and local environment. Because our wines are a true expression of the grapes and landscape in which they grow, they contain lower alcohol, making them ideal for mindful sipping.
