Keeling Schaefer Vineyards
Keeling-Schaefer wines come from fruit grown on our own estate vineyards. We farm 21 acres of mostly ENTAV certified French grapevines on our Home Place Vineyard and our Rock Creek Vineyard. One thing that sets us apart from many wineries is we grow our own fruit and make all of the wine in the winery located on the vineyard. It is a terrific advantage to control all aspects of winemaking, including all of the growing decisions. In 2004, Herrick Grapevines, of St. Helena, California, supplied us with 7200 ENTAV dormant bench grafts for our April 2004 planting. These plants are Syrah clones; 174, 383 and 877; and Grenache Noir clones, 513 and 362. In 2007-2009 we planted an additional 10,300 vines, or12 acres of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre, Viognier and Picpoul Blanc on our Rock Creek Vineyard. Keeling Schaefer Vineyards
Arizona Stronghold Vineyards was formed to put Arizona on the Fine Wine Map
Arizona Stronghold Vineyards was formed to put Arizona on the fine wine map. While small bastions of artistry have made a few waves with wine aficionados, Arizona still remains a vinous backwater in the minds of the wine world. Despite this, there is a distinct hunger in Arizona for indigenous wines. The potential to make great wine has always existed in the Southwest, yet the talent and willingness to invest here had yet to fully blossom until recently. We believe the soils and climate at our vineyards stand up to the finest in the world. Growing fine wines in Arizona is all about elevation. There is a perfect “Mediterranean Band” in the mid Arizona elevations between the heat of Phoenix and the cold of Flagstaff. This is where we farm. We also feel strongly that our wines express, first and foremost, Arizona, and secondarily the grapes and hands of the vignerons involved.
Great wine doesn’t have to be expensive; it doesn’t have to be pretentious; and it shouldn’t be hard to find. It just has to be great and it has to be made by people that care. ASV is all about place, people, quality and value. Enjoy a taste of Arizona from the bottle and open your mind to the potential of our stunning landscape. Arizona Stronghold Vineyards
