Cana Vineyards – Unveiling the Winery’s Hidden Gems and Award-Winning Wines

Join us in the final part of our interview with Melanie from Cana Vineyards as we explore five of their best wines. First up, we dive into the 2022 Albarino, a Wine that holds a special place in Melanie's heart due to her decade-long relationship with Greenstone Vineyards. Discover the serendipitous beginnings of this Wine and its rise in the mid-Atlantic region.

Next, we shift to the vibrant world of rosé. Melanie shares her passion for crafting high-quality rosés, starting with the Rosé of Merlot, which began in 2017. Learn about the challenges and triumphs of producing three distinct rosés, including the Rosé of Cabernet Sauvignon, and how these wines have become a cornerstone of Cana Vineyards.

As we wrap up, Melanie reveals that rosé is currently their top seller, with Albarino quickly gaining recognition. Tune in to hear about the competitive nature of winemaking and the importance of time and experience in creating exceptional wines.
