2026 Wine Star Awards Nominee. North Carolina’s Highest Rated Wines. Learn more.
Our mission at Dynamis Estate Wines is to achieve premium-quality without
compromise. This philosophy drives every decision we make — from vineyard to winery to
tasting lodge and everywhere in between.
At 1,640 feet, the air gets thinner, and the wine gets richer.
Growing grapes at a higher altitude gives our wine
complexity and a unique expression of mountain terroir.
Seismic events from eons ago created the mountains known to locals as
The Brushies. It turns out the rocky soil yielded by these hills forms a
wonderfully unique foundation from which to grow flavorful grapes.
We invite you to taste traditional hand-crafted winemaking that taps
into our artisans' never-ending well of passion, creativity, and intuition
to craft purposely designed bold Bordeaux-inspired wines.
How do you inspire a wine to reach its fullness? A little bit
of science, a little bit of art, and a lot of passion.
We value quality more than quantity. Hand-crafted small lots allow us to
focus on what is important: great-tasting wines.

Matheson Worrell and Katy Kidd are the first North Carolina winemakers named nominees for this global honor from Wine Enthusiast. It's Dynamis's second consecutive Wine Star Award finalist recognition, following last year's American Winery of the Year nod.
