Winemaker Amy LaBelle had always wanted to make a pear wine that captures and transforms these characteristics into a gorgeous dinner wine. Enjoy as an aperitif, or with salads/fresh vegetables, seafood or chicken.

About Riesling: Riesling is a white grape variety which originated in the Rhine River region of Germany. Riesling is an aromatic grape variety displaying flowery, almost perfumed, aromas as well as high acidity. It is used to make dry, semi-sweet, sweet, and sparkling white wines. Riesling wines are usually varietally pure and are seldom oaked.
About Seyval Blanc: Seyval Blanc is a French hybrid grape that ripens early and thrives in cooler climates. It is planted in England, Canada, and the northeastern United States. The grape produces crisp white wines with citrus notes.
About Chardonnay: Chardonnay is a green-skinned grape variety used to create white wines. It originated in the Burgundy wine region of eastern France, but is now grown wherever wine is produced. Chardonnay wine tends to be medium to light bodied with noticeable acidity. Wines that have gone through malolactic fermentation, as LaBelle Chardonnay has, tend to have softer acidity and fruit flavors with buttery mouthfeel.

Amherst Vineyard Red

Each year, we blend them into this special, limited release wine – with its deep rich tones, Amherst Vineyard Red delights the palate first with fruit forward flavor that then subsides to a dry, lingering finish. This oak-aged estate wine pairs well with cheese and charcuterie or beef dishes.
Aged in French oak barrels for approximately 1+ years.

Chardonnay
Our Chardonnay finds balance in both body and style due to limited aging in barrel with additional oak infusion. Winemaker Amy LaBelle blends the traditional Chardonnay grape with the cold-hardy Vidal Blanc, creating a wine true to our New England fruit. Malolactic fermentation, a secondary fermentation that converts malic acid to lactic acid, lends a buttery nose, while crisp acidity and floral tones are demonstrated due largely to the addition of the Vidal Blanc. This blend is a wonderful complement to any poultry or seafood dish.
Aged in French oak barrels for approximately 6 months, then transferred to steel tank and infused with French oak cubes for approximately 6 months.
