Winery & Spirits

Anasazi Fields Winery offers hand-craft dry table wines from fruits and berries other than grapes. Unlike most "fruit wines", our wines are NOT SWEET dessert wines. Their delicious dryness makes them the perfect accompaniment to any meal. Our wines, such as Plum wine, Apricot wine, Peach wine and Raspberry wine are crafted from local and other New Mexico fruits and berries. We also make a slightly off-dry Cranberry wine. All of our wines are aged on oak for one to four years.<br/>
