Winemaking at Flying Leap

Flying Leap is unique in the wine and spirits industries for two primary reasons. First, our farm winery and craft distillery have a higher degree of vertical integration, and second we are substantially more diversified.

Vertical integration consists of Flying Leap controlling the majority of our products’ value chains from the actual growing of the fruit to its post-harvest processing, including vinification, distillation, cellaring, bottling, distribution and sales. Accordingly, we can better-control our product quality to ensure consistency from vintage to vintage. Additionally, we more-tightly control the critical production cadences for harvest timing and fruit processing, offering sizable advantages in terms of production efficiency.

Flying Leap is substantially more diversified in a generally-focused niche-centric craft wine and spirits industry.

When asked about this, we will usually say we aren’t an “Arizona winery”, but rather a winery headquartered in Arizona. Under a single banner we bring a dizzying array of production capability, releasing a broad spectrum of products unlike any other in our market – spirits, wines, merchandise, culinary spices and a range of services including product distribution, industry consulting, trucking and technical design. Diversification opens up broader avenues for market expansion, enhances consumer engagement with our portfolio and reduces business risk. By offering a wider range of products within the wine and spirits categories, Flying Leap caters to a more diverse spectrum of consumer preferences, thus appealing to a wider audience. Quite literally, there is something of interest for everyone in Flying Leap’s portfolio.
