| ANASAZI
FIELDS WINERY sits on the western edge of the old village of Placitas,
New Mexico, between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Orchards and vineyards
surrounding the winery are watered by a spring-fed irrigation system
that dates back over a thousand years to a time when the Anasazi people
farmed the Placitas Valley. Nearby are petroglyphs which we
have reproduced on our wine labels.
At
ANASAZI FIELDS WINERY we hand-craft dry table wines
from fruits and berries other than grapes. Unlike most "fruit
wines", our wines are NOT SWEET dessert
wines. Their delicious dryness makes them the perfect
accompaniment to any meal. Our wines, such as Plum wine,
Apricot
wine, Peach wine and Blackberry wine are crafted from local and other
New Mexico fruits and berries. We also make a
slightly
off-dry Cranberry wine and three grape-based wines enhanced by one of
our old fruit wines. All of our wines are aged on
oak for
one to four years.
A
visit to our winery is a perfect addition to your New Mexico
travels. We will surprise you with our different wines, free
wine tasting and a personalized winery tour. A map to the
winery is on our "contact us" page. See our events page for a
list of the wine
festivals we attend and activities at
the winery throughout the year.
Fish
Bits is an evolving collection of information and musings from Jim
Fish, our winemaker.
One of
our primary goals is to help preserve the agricultural nature of the
small villages of Northern New Mexico by producing a value-added
product from the excellent fruit grown here for centuries.
