Markko Vineyard started in 1968 as a winegrower to demonstrate the potential for vinifera in the new to be Lake Erie appellation. As a cooperator of Dr Konstantin Frank, his clones and cultural practice were adapted to produce here in the most natural and organic environment possible. Special attention focuses on winter survival. Then to produce estate wines, which reveal with minimal intervention the unique character and terrior for his five great vinifera - Riesling, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Gris. And finally to market these wines which hopefully capture the essence and character of each variety and vintage to the waiting wine world. This calls for building understanding, demand, and reputation for Lake Erie as a premium winegrowing region of the world. The primary parameter for that requires finding the one or two grape varieties, which can consistently produce fine to great wine.
