All of the white wines are unoaked and the red wines are unfiltered to get the most extract and purest varietal flavors. As a result, the wines truly over deliver for the price, garnering many 'Best Buy' and 'Best Value' ratings from the top US publications. Each wine is sealed with a stelvin closure, giving it a 'new world' and fresh look. Visit the Tortoise Creek website.
