Grapes require a special soil to thrive and produce good quality grapes. Oddly, this is a very poor type of soil. The inland ocean that existed here millions of years ago deposited sand hundreds of feet deep. Over the millennia, the slow growth and decay of plant life has left poor but perfect soil for our grapes. Hence, our slogan: “Millions of years in the making”.
Many improvements to cold, hardy grapes have produced excellent new varietals! Inland Ocean decided to break away from the traditional grapes grown in the state of Kansas and is growing some of these amazing new varieties, and by extension, making some amazing new wines.
