Flying Leap Vineyards, Inc. is an Arizona Subchapter S corporation founded in 2010, which grows vitis vinifera wine grapes on its estate vineyards in Cochise and Santa Cruz counties in southern and southeastern Arizona and purchases grapes from other private vineyards in both Arizona and California to produce a portfolio of ultra premium proprietary wines. These wines as well as wine-related merchandise are sold through a variety of retail and wholesale venues, including the company's tasting rooms at its estate in Elgin, AZ and its newest tasting room located in historic downtown Willcox. The Company's largest vineyards are located in southeastern Arizona on the Willcox Bench area near Kansas Settlement at an elevation of 4,359 feet. At approximately 5,000 feet in elevation, Flying Leap also operates a smaller 6.5-acre estate vineyard at its tasting room and winery in Elgin, AZ, about 1-hr south of Tucson. Flying Leap produces red, white, rosé and fortified wines of varying degrees of sweetness, acidity, tannin and oak character from an array of carefully-grown grape varieties well suited for southern Arizona's dry, arid climate and soil chemistry. These include traditional Rhône-style blended wines from red grape varietals such as Grenache/Garnacha, Petit Verdot, Mourvèdre, Tannat, Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc, Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Graciano. White grapes in FLVI's portfolio include Viognier, Marsanne, Malvasia-Bianca,Verdelho, Albarino and Piquepoul Blanc.
