Land Grant Red
In 1821, Englishman George Patton took deed to 235 acres in Franklin County. His log home stands today as a resilient testament to the American dream. That same year, Missouri became the 24th state admitted to the Union under the Missouri Compromise, making it the first state west of the Mississippi. This same land has been home to Röbller Vineyard for more than 30 years.
Land Grant Red is an uncompromising wine, reflective of our land and approach to winegrowing. This five-variety field blend was cold soaked, slowly fermented and gently pressed after 54 days of extended maceration. The settled wine matured for 26 months in new Missouri Chinkapin oak barrels, creating a sumptuous, full-bodied and well-integrated wine boasting an array of dark, round, red fruits, framed with great structure and balance. Cheers to 200 years.

Chambourcin is the newest addition to our list and an unoaked version that is dry, well-balanced and fruit-driven. To achieve this outcome, we incorporate winemaking techniques designed to extract fruit character and build body and balance without the heavier tannin typically found in barrel-aged red wines.
Le Trompier Noir is a wine inspired by the pinot noir found in Burgundy’s Côte d’Or region. A field blend of Chambourcin, St. Vincent and Villard Noir is handpicked, destemmed and fermented slowly to enhance the fruit quality of the wine. Once fermentation is completed, the wine is gently pressed, settled and barreled in older Missouri Oak barrels for 18 months. The result is a lighter-bodied red that is well-balanced, featuring spiced cherries with a hint of toasted oak.
Norton is considered Missouri’s state grape and a wine we produce exclusively from our estate-grown fruit. Our Norton gains its robust profile from a combination of cold soaking the fruit, extended fermentation under controlled conditions, gentle pressing and finally aging to perfection in Missouri oak barrels for at least 18 months.
Hillside Cuvée is a representative blend of the vineyard featuring chambourcin and Norton with a small amount of St. Vincent. This blend brings together the elegance and strength of these two grapes yielding a balanced wine well-suited for aging. Filled with aromas of dark red fruits and spice along with a light smokiness from the barrel aging, this wine expresses the complexity of what our vineyard has come to yield.
Villa Rouge is crowd-pleaser for any occasion, our fruit-forward semi-dry red showcases bright berry fruits with a rich, soft palate. Enjoy it with a meal, snacks or just a glass. Tonight calls for Villa Rouge.
