Wine & Beer On Tap

See our current selections of both beer AND wine ON TAP at Craft’d in Downtown Morganton.

Wine

Our wine philosophy is simple. Drink what you like with what you like. Whether red or white, there'll be a favorite for every occasion. We pride ourselves on a wine collection that consists primarily of wines you won't find in the big box stores. We try our best to find "craft" wines that are from winemakers who produce less than 5,000 cases per year.

Rosé and Whites

Sabine Rosé IGP Mediterranee, Aix Vineyards, France, 12.5% ABV — Delivers the classic Provence rosé profile with notes of raspberry, cherry, peach, herbal, citrus and mineral core. A creamy concentration from the small yields and concentrated fruit adds tremendous length on the palate. To ensure maximum complexity, there were over 30 small fermentations using dozens of different yeasts, creating a symphony of flavor. Blend: 30% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 20% Cinsault, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Rolle.

MacRostie Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2021, Oregon, 14.5% ABV — With a medium golden color reminiscent of freshly baked shortbread and alluring layers of persimmon, ripe Meyer lemon, and rich brioche, this is an elegant and alluring wine.

Ovum is solely committed to the production of white wines, and employs a low-intervention production method with a focus on allowing he vintage and vineyard to shine.

The palate is refined and elegant with superb natural fruit weight providing a juicy core of layered fruit, entwined with a salty textural acidity, vibrant citrus pith and a moreish dry chalky finish.

Not on tap, but it’s a fan favorite, so we pour it by the bottle:

A to Z Pinot Gris, Oregon, 13.5% ABV —  Refreshing and lithe on the palate. Aromas of Meyer lemon, lemon verbena, tangerine, apricot, peach, apple, pear, quince, melon and honeysuckle add a hint of sweetness to the air around it.

Reds

Katas Garnacha 2021, Catalonia, Spain, 13.5% ABV — Berry flavors of bright strawberries and raspberries, floral aromas and notes of white pepper and cinnamon. Rich, spicy, and fruit driven with low tannins.

Klinker Brick Zinfandel 2018, Lodi, CA, 15.4% ABV — This is KB’s flagship Zinfandel, made from vineyard blocks up to 120 years old. Delta Breezes and the associated fog allow above-average acidity for the region, providing notes of dark cherry and spices. Barrel fermentation provides additional structure to a thin skinned varietal. The extremely low yields of century-old vineyards bring notes of raspberry and cranberry, with a hint of black pepper. The result is a balanced and complex Zinfandel perfect for both Summer barbecues and Fall fire pits. Rating: 91, Winemag.com

Rich flavors of black cherry pie filling, creamed plum and a hint of clove. The structure is elegant with strong acidity and a long, smooth finish accompanied by velvety tannins.

Not on tap, but it’s a fan favorite, so we pour it by the bottle:

Meiomi Pinot Noir, Sonoma County, CA, 13.7% ABV — A rich garnet color, the wine reveals lifted fruit aromas of bright strawberry and jammy fruit, mocha, vanilla, and toasty oak. Expressive boysenberry, blackberry, dark cherry, juicy strawberry, and toasty mocha flavors lend complexity to the soft, plush palate. The well-integrated oak provides structure and depth seldom seen in Pinot Noir.
