About Jackson Triggs Winery
This modern structure design was inspired and constructed as traditional farm buildings, with its wooden-frame roof, use of local natural stone, aluminum framing and wide sliding barn door in the front. Jackson Triggs winery is truly different from its neighborhood wineries, and the main advantage is that the winery incorporates the principles of environmental sustainability.Wine making equipment provides high level of flexibility and control, with the gravity assisted system instead of pumping, roto-fermenters and open top fermenters. There are also other green features including on-site stormwater collection system, natural ventilation and roof construction to maximize daylighting and needed solar heat.
Once you enter the winery you will notice two sections: the public space with the tasting areas, retail shop, entertaining and administration areas. The other side of the building is where the fermentation tanks are, together with the storage and barrel cellars.
Jackson Triggs winery grows the finest vinifera on its 11.5 acres of meticulously tended vineyard with three classic varietals: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling.
Premium quality vinifera grapes are also grown on the 100 acres of Delaine Vineyard which used to be an apple orchard. This property has also a research centre where different techniques and conditions are used to improve the wine quality.
The majority of grapes planted on the Delaine Vineyard are red varietals including Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah. From white varietals you can find Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewürztraminer and Semillion.
