Hangtime Wines

If you are passionate about Pinot Noir or Chardonnay, look
no further than Hangtime Cellars. Winemaker Tony Coltrin
sources fruit from California appellations that meet the Hangtime flavor profile, delivering fresh, flavorful, well balanced wines of exceptional finesse and value.

Although “hang time” may evoke an image of folks on their
day off, sipping wine and relaxing in the sun, the name
actually refers to the amount of time the grapes spend
hanging on the vines.The longer grapes spend on the vine,
the more time they have to develop the concentrated fruit
character that results in wines of distinctive, delicious varietal
expression. Appellations have to be warm enough to fully
ripen grapes, yet cool enough to prolong this ripening while
maintaining the kind of natural acidity that balances rich fruit
flavor. And you’ll know how long the grapes stayed on the vine, because the labels are printed with the average number of days of hang time for that vintage.

Our Hangtime portfolio of wines includes a Central Coast
Chardonnay and a California Pinot Noir sourced from select
micro-climate appellations, and a single-vineyard Pinot Noir.
Our Force Canyon Vineyard Pinot Noir comes from Arroyo
Seco, located in the center of Monterey County, which is recognized as having one of California’s longest growing seasons.
