Cottonwood Cellars

Profile Last Updated: Jan 19, 2021
About Us
Cottonwood Cellars is a traditional European-style family winery, using equipment from Italy. We produce 3,500 cases a year. Our "reserve" red wines are aged an average of two years in American and French oak barrels, and we use new barrels (heavy, medium plus, and medium toast) every year as well as older barrels to avoid over-oaking. Our other red wines are aged an average of one year in barrel. All reds are aged an additional year in the bottle. Our Chardonnay is aged "sur lee," where the lees remain in the barrel for at least nine months to produce a creamy texture. It is aged in new oak barrels and bottle aged one year. The winery is located on a 52-acre working farm on California Mesa, known for its mild climate and ability to grow fruit. It's surrounded by magnificent views of the San Juan Mountains, the Grand Mesa and the Uncompaghre Plateau. Please visit and bring a lunch to eat under the giant cottonwoods. Our lovely yard can host up to 150 people for family reunions, weddings and other events. A new 2500 sq. ft. building which houses barrels and the tasting room (with piano) is also available. Directions: Between Delta and Montrose. Take Hwy. 50 to Town of Olathe, turn west at traffic light (Hwy. 348), go 3.4 miles. Winery is on the right.
