Justin Boeger the great grandson of Napa Valley winemaker Anton Nicholini and the son and partner of Boeger vinyard owner Greg Boeger always knew he’d be a winemaker. Though he went to school to learn the science of winemaking, he says that scientific wine is clean, but it lacks character, and that making wine with tons of character is where the art of winemaking comes in.
Natural, Authentic, And Wholesome Subtleties Can Make A World Of Difference
After completing his schooling and his internship in the Franconia region in the northern part of Bavaria in Germany, Boeger says that he made some changes in the winery’s processes, including using oak barrels in a different way.
Instead of buying barrels from one supplier, he has diversified and uses several barrels from several different coopers, different forests, and has tailored each barrel to the particular grape variety and vintage. This is because each different oak barrel at its own diversity, uniqueness, and variety.
