Antebellum Red 2023

This distinctive wine is a harmonious blend of our estate-grown Chambourcin grapes, the innovative “Enchantment” grape cultivated in West Tennessee, and Noiret grapes also sourced from the region. After an initial 12 months of aging with French oak staves to enhance structure and depth, the wine spent an additional 12 months maturing in charred Tennessee whiskey barrels. This extended aging process imparts a velvety smoothness and layers of nuanced complexity to the wine. While many “bourbon barrel-aged” red wines have gained popularity, Antebellum stands apart. As one of the first modern American wineries to craft dry red wine in whiskey barrels, we bring a unique character to this blend, one that celebrates innovation while honoring tradition.
