Missouri Wins Top Awards at National and International Competitions
Year after year, Missouri is continually bringing home gold, double gold, best in class and other high-ranking awards from competitions around the world.
Missouri Has an Official State Grape
In 2003, the Norton grape became the official grape of Missouri. It is a Native American grape, and supposedly one of the oldest varieties still commercially grown. Norton is a big, dry red wine and is as unique as it is amazing. Our own Norton wine is an opaque deep plum color, with hints of tobacco and oak. It's full bodied, spicy and smooth with a persistent finish.
Missouri is home to the 1st Ever AVA
the American Viticulture Area (AVA) is a designated grape-growing region. In 1980, August was named the first ever AVA, because of it's unique soil, climate and wines, as well as the long history they have of being the oldest and foremost grape and wine district.Missouri Saved the French Wine
Back in the 1870s, French wineries were dying due to a vineyard pest call Phylloxera. A Missouri Entomologist named C.V. Riley discovered American rootstock was resistant to this pest, and it was sent overseas and grafted into the French vines, thus helping rebuild their industry.Missouri Makes a LOT of Wine
Over 900,000 gallons of wine are produced in Missouri alone, ever year! All of those bottled lined up would nearly span the widths of the state.
Prohibition Was Hard for Missouri Wines
Before the prohibition, Missouri was 2nd in the country in wine production, just behind New York. Now Missouri holds number 14th for American Wine Production.
Wine Trails
There are many wine trails in Missouri, and one of the best happens every year here at Seven Springs. In 2015, we started the first Annual Wine Trail Competition. All of the wineries get a chance to get together and compete for who has the best wine while you get the chance to TRY the best wine! It's a win-win for everyone.Best Winery at the Lake of the Ozarks
