Antler Ridge Winery
Bradford County Map Location: H-2 – 570-247-7222 www.AntlerRidgeWinery.com
Antler Ridge Winery was created to fulfill a desire to produce premium, handcrafted wines to be enjoyed with new and old friends. As the years progressed, the winery’s production increased, varieties expanded, and its winemaking techniques matured. After more than seventeen years of making wines as a hobby, owner and winemaker, Steve Unis, realized it was time to purchase new equipment and expand the operation to a commercial level.
“We have come full circle over the past few years,”€ Steve notes, “from the planning stages to the opening of our first winery in January 2005. Our goal was to provide the best atmosphere for making and enjoying quality wines. The winery is located on our farm and provides the perfect country setting.”
“When you visit us,” Steve continues, “you will see our state-of-the-art tank room. Each of our tanks is electronically controlled to maintain our wines at precise temperatures during the various stages of production. White wines are fermented slowly and at cool temperatures, a process that produces a tantalizing taste on the palate. Red wines are fermented ‘on the skins’ just long enough to bring out flavorful tannins and rich colors. The reds are then aged in French and American oak barrels until they are ready to be bottled.”
