Winemaking

Allis Ranch Winery is a hands on, boutique winery on the Front Range of Colorado near Castle Rock focusing on Colorado wines. 

After a great deal of research, requiring considerable samplings of the great wines found in Colorado, we determined that Colorado's Western Slope near Palisade offers a climate and altitude that would highlight the qualities of the grapes which originated in the Southern Rhone area in France.  The hot days and cool nights bring out the classic fruit and black pepper of Syrah, the melon, floral and citric character in Viognier.

Co-Fermenting the White Viognier grape in small quantities with the Syrah adds depth and strucure to the Syrah. Starting in 2008 we are also working with Grenache and look forward to blending the Grenache and Syrah for some very unique interpretations of Colorado's own Rhone Rangers.
