1024 Wheatland Dr. Coatesville, PA 19320 610-486-0422 Email: stargazers1@verizon.net Website: www.stargazersvineyard.com Stargazers Vineyard owned and operated by John and Alice Weygandt, was first planted in 1979; the winery was established in 1996. The vineyard overlooks the Brandywine Creek from its south facing slopes just north of Unionville, PA in southern Chester County. We have an excellent vineyard site on a south-facing slope with heat retaining, well drained, schisty soil. Situated on a hill above the Brandywine Creek, Stargazers Vineyard has its own special environment and microclimate. terroir, individuality and character represent traditional values which we at Stargazers cherish and which result in wine with elegance, complexity and depth of flavor, an intense mineral quality, and a lingering finish. We emphasize sustainability in our wine-growing. Notably, we choose mechanical cultivation over herbicides. We employ integrated pest management and use low impact pesticides whenever possible. We capture rain water in cisterns for spraying the vineyard. A nine kilowatt photovoltaic array provides all the electricity for the winery and our passive solar home. In addition to offering tastes of selected still wines, we will be sampling one of our sparkling wines each time we appear at market. |
