Producing about 1000 cases per year, Daveste Vineyards is a small winery near Statesville, NC along I-77. Here you find Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Chambourcin estate grown grapes. Situated at approximately 900' elevation, other grapes are brought in from nearby higher vineyard locations as Viognier, Rkatsiteli and Traminette. A $5 tasting fee includes six wines of the day (though kind words can produce more offering examples) and a nice souvenir glass. The wines we tasted were thin, with quick decay. Only their La Brisa (a Riesling take-off) and Chambourcin provided any distinct aromas, but alas no appeal to our tastes. This was a start of tasting NC wines from different areas in a state which has vineyards stretching from sea level to high mountain tops.
