2023 Apple Wine

“Father of Apples,” our apple wine has a sweet, bright apple aroma paired with a crisp, delicate apple palate, finishing off dry. 

The Tale of ALMA-ATA

Our travels shape our lives and our stories.  The tale of Alma-Ata begins in a town in the Republic Kazakhstan….

During John Higg’s career with Philip Morris, he and Shelby spent years in Europe and Asia.  John worked in Kazakhstan for 3 years. It was there John learned that Kazakhstan was the birthplace of the apple.  The name Alma-Ata means “father of apples” in Kazakh.  

Today, the Higgs family continues the legacy begun by the family patriarch, James Higgs.   Join with them as they celebrate 4 generations of farming in the Shenandoah Valley by introducing the second vintage of their apple wine, Alma-Ata.
