Winegrower’s Selection
FROM OUR CELLAR TO YOUR DOOR
We've heard from many of you that busy lives have made frequent visits to Linden more difficult. If you've missed special releases and small-lot bottlings, Linden’s subscription offering may be of interest.
The Winegrower’s Selection will include six-bottle shipments twice a year of small-lot bottlings, unusual wines, and vintages of which we are particularly proud. The November 2024 shipment included the Cabernet Franc 2022 (pre-release), Avenius Red 2019, Claret 2021, Hardscrabble Chardonnay 2022, Wabi Sabi 2021 (pre-release), and Boisseau Viognier 2021 (pre-release). The next shipment will be in April 2025 with wines selected this winter.
Currently, the cost ranges from $260-$325 per shipment (6 bottles, two times per year) depending on selection, plus any applicable taxes and shipping fees. Shipments will go out in April and November.

The Vines
We traveled to Irpinia to get a better understanding of the nuances of the Fiano grape in the vineyard. There is no substitute for being there. Seeing the growth characteristics of the vines, literally feeling the soil, and walking the slopes can’t happen on the web. Broken language conversations become more fluid when pointing, gesturing, and touching the vines.

In Situ | Visits
Winegrowers have a passion for sharing information and ideas. Internships, exchanges, technical visits, and random emails are all part of our profession. This is an extension of our farming roots. Farmers are introverts by nature and live a fairly isolated life by design. But when the occasion arises, we enjoy sharing our experiences with others who work the same way. Over the years I’ve sometimes been received at other vineyards with an air of skepticism, but once we talk the talk, and it becomes apparent that we do the same work and have the same struggles and rewards, a bond quickly forms.

Intro | Vineyards and Climate Change
We’re just back from the region of Irpinia (also known as Avellino) in southern Italy. We were there to learn about a grape that I had never heard of a decade ago. Fiano produces a white wine of great character and aging potential. Its stellar performance in Linden’s Climate Change Trial Vineyard has been the inspiration for us to make a pilgrimage to its source.
