Sacramental Wine — Hemlock Lake, New York

Wine Selection

Seven sacramental varieties, made from Finger Lakes grapes without additives or preservatives. Pure grape wine, as Canon Law requires.

Canonical Compliance

100% Pure Grape Wine — In Full Accord with Canon Law

O-Neh-Da produces only authentic, pure grape sacramental wine. Unlike competitors who bulk-process their wine and add non-grape sugars and other adulterants, O-Neh-Da adds nothing — no artificial flavors, no preservatives, no concentrates. The wine is exactly what Canon 924 of the Code of Canon Law requires: wine made from grapes of the vine, natural and uncorrupted.

Because of this unwavering commitment to premium quality, O-Neh-Da Vineyard has maintained continuous Approbation from the Bishop of Rochester since our founding in 1872. A tri-annual letter of approbation is on file and available to parishes upon request.

O-Neh-Da winery cellar — Finger Lakes traditional winemaking

Natural. Pure. Finger Lakes.

Great Wine Is Made in the Vineyard

"For Finger Lakes grapes — life is a struggle. Through their struggle the grapes develop great character."

Cool-climate grape growing must begin with the soil. O-Neh-Da Vineyard growers strive to turn dirt into soil, and soil into healthy vine. Biointensive growing practices seek to reduce artificial inputs and increase the wholistic health of the vineyard.

Grapes are harvested by hand in small batches at the point of perfect balance between ripeness and total acidity. As grapes are gently crushed, conscious music is played in the background to coax the juice into spontaneous fermentation with the wild yeast from the vineyard and the atmospheric yeast of the century-old winery.

O-Neh-Da wines are natural, pure grape Finger Lakes wines made in the old-world methods which predate modern winemaking.
