Obsidian Wine Company

Obsidian Wine Company is a family-owned winery situated at 2,875 feet high in the Mayacamas Mountains, where they farm on a ridge of solid black Obsidian glass. The extreme climate, altitude, and volcanics result in wines with unique aromatics, acidity, and structure. With 20 years of experience in volcanic winemaking, the team has developed an expertise in crafting distinctive wines that showcase the terroir's characteristics. Their estate-grown wines are made entirely from their own vineyards, including the Poseidon Vineyard planted by the founder's father in 1973, and aged in Hungarian Oak barrels. The winery's philosophy emphasizes balance and experimentation, as evident in their lower-alcohol wines such as Máslás (6.5% abv), Pear Blanc (10%), and Apricot Blanc (10%). Their story is deeply rooted in family farming traditions passed down from their father, who fled Hungary in 1956, and their legacy is built upon a foundation of adventure, exploration, and community building. The winery's atmosphere is characterized by an ethos of iconoclasm, where experts come together to push the boundaries of wine production and hospitality.
