| At Stoney Mesa Winery, wine is the
product of passion and love for farming.
Each bottle is hand crafted by
a family who believes in the beauty of Colorado
Wine as
much as the beauty of the landscape, because the
making of a fine wine is something to
admire. It requires good grapes, a bit of luck with the weather and all the patience and care a winemaker can
devote.

Bret
Neal (Right) has handled the winegrowing
since 1993 and winemaking at Stoney Mesa Winery
since 1999, when Ron Neal his father (Left) passed
on the
winemaking responsibilities to him.
Living on the family vineyard and winery property
in Cedaredge he has persued his education in
enology and viticulture with an
understanding of the challenges that
Colorado's High Altitude brings, but he strives to bring
out the best in Colorado. Bret is
dedicated to making wines that belong in the
company of the states, and the worlds finest. Bret comments, "I really want to focus on our wine
quality, I feel we have so much potential in Colorado wine, and we are just
breaking the surface."
Throughout his career, Bret has pursued the
highest wine quality through experimentation,
and a belief in Sustainable
Viticulture. As a result, Stoney Mesa Winery has
been on the leading edge in viticulture in
Colorado.
Bret has managed and learned from the
vineyard, and has been there since the
very first planting in 1990. Said Bret
Neal, "Our newer vineyards benefit from
what we've learned in caring for the
original vines, but we also learn
something new every year"
The winery's new addition brings to life a
families vision to create a winemaking facility
capable of creating some of Colorado's most
appreciated wines. Its modern facility utilizes
gentle fruit handling, temperature controlled
fermentations and small lot red wine production.
Stoney Mesa has pioneered the production of wine
grapes and winemaking in the area.
