Timber Creek Distillery First Wine Barrel Purchase
Timber Creek Distillery and Winery Completes Its First Wine Barrel Purchase
Timber Creek Distillery and Winery has completed its first wine barrel purchase. This is a big step. The wine is here. Now the focus turns to bottling.
Most people know Timber Creek for grain-to-glass spirits and hands-on experiences. Wine has always been part of the plan. This purchase moves the winery side from an idea into real action.
What Was Purchased
This first winery purchase includes 26 barrels.
The barrels come from a small group of producers and regions. The goal was balance. That means bold red wines for structure. It also means chardonnay for freshness.
A small amount of rosé adds flexibility. Every barrel has a purpose.
Bacigalupi Vineyards (12 barrels)
- 2023 Zinfandel (1 barrel)
- 2024 Zinfandel (1 barrel)
- 2023 Petite Sirah (1 barrel)
- 2024 Petite Sirah (3 barrels)
- 2024 Chardonnay (3 barrels)
- 2025 Rosé de Zinfandel (1 barrel)
- 2025 Rosé of Pinot Noir (2 barrels)
These barrels come from Bacigalupi Vineyards. One detail matters here.
The Rosé de Zinfandel is not a wine they sell. They usually keep it for themselves.
That makes this barrel special for Timber Creek’s first winery release.
Redmon Wines (2 barrels)
- 2023 Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon (1 barrel)
- 2023 Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon (1 barrel)
These Napa Valley cabernets come from Redmon Wines. They add structure and age potential to the program.
Obsidian Wine Co. (5 barrels)
- 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon (5 barrels) — Volcanic Estate
These barrels were sourced from Obsidian Wine Co.. Volcanic soils give this wine depth and intensity.
Alexander Valley Chardonnay (7 barrels)
- Chardonnay (7 barrels) — Winemaker: Ryan Hodgins
This chardonnay brings balance to the lineup. It keeps the program fresh and food-friendly.
Why This Matters for Timber Creek
Buying barrels is not just buying wine. It is choosing a direction. Timber Creek takes the long road. That applies to spirits. It applies to wine too. Quality comes first.
What Happens Next: Moving Toward Bottling
The next step is planning. Final tastings. Bottles and closures. Labels and compliance.
Timing matters.
Updates will be shared here as things move forward.
