A cozy wine-making sim about patience. Grow the grapes, pick the harvest at its peak, make the wine, then decide which bottles to sell now and which to hold until they are worth more. Raise a glass and tilt it: the rim's color tells you how far each wine has come. Run a working vineyard one season at a time: winter, spring and summer are a turn each, in every campaign. Prune in winter, manage water and canopy through summer, fight disease and watch every block ripen. Then comes the hardest call of the year: pick now, or wait a month for riper fruit and risk the weather. Every option shows the wine it will make before you choose. At the winery, choose a fermentation (cool and safe, warm to bring out the grape, or wild yeast: a gamble that can make your best wine or your worst) and a vessel: stainless steel, oak or concrete. Plant a second grape and blend the two. Then the patience part. Wines in oak and concrete gain value as they age, but storage is billed every month, and cash in the cellar is cash you cannot spend. For every wine you see the sale you'd make now and what one more year nets after storage, so you choose what to hold. From 24 months, every buyer pays more for age-worthy reds, and the premium buyers pay the most. Read the rim: raise the glass from a wine in the cellar or on the sale screen and tilt your phone (or drag the glass). The rim runs from young to its peak to fading. Age-worthy wines hide one finest season inside their peak, and a bright edge on the rim gives it away. Bottle the wine then and it keeps its peak value, plus 10%. Sell to four buyers, from the local wine shop to international distributors. Reputation opens the better ones. Each year's summary names what held your vintage back, and your campaign ends with every vintage you made laid out on a barrel rack. Features: - Three campaigns, all played a season at a time: Quick (5 vintages), Full Arc (20 vintages) and Endless - Harvest timing that shows the wine from picking now or waiting, and the weather risk of waiting - Ripeness that matters: ripe is the peak, over-ripe costs quality - 3 fermentations × 3 vessels, each showing the resulting quality, tier and value - Sell or hold: the sale you'd make now and what one more year nets after storage - Peak windows for every wine in your cellar - Read the rim: tilt the glass to read a wine's age and find its finest season - Six grapes: Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Sangiovese, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir - Four regions with their own climate risks: Mendoza, Marlborough, Napa Valley and Tuscany - The Competition: enter your best wines and fill your Medal Case - Quality tiers from Table Wine to Grand Cru; reputation from Unknown to Prestigious - Four upgrades: Drip Irrigation, Weather Station, Barrel Program, Tasting Room - Legacy titles earned by how consistently you make great wine; Grand Master needs a strong finish - Plays offline, in 10 languages No ads, ever. Mendoza and Marlborough are free to play. Napa Valley, Tuscany, the Estate Bundle (every region, three estate slots and Endless from day one) and the Vintner's Patron pack are optional in-app purchases.
