Gewurztraminer
$17
Don’t let the hard-to-pronounce name put you off! This is an easy-to-drink wine based in the German style, featuring notes of tropical fruit. Off-dry, deeply flavored & complex, this wine will blow you away with spicy aromas of apricots & pineapple, with honeysuckle overtones. We like to pair LaBelle “Gewurz” with sausages & sauerkraut, but it’s also great with Mexican or Asian cuisine, a cheese course or with roasted pork dinners.
Can be bottle-aged up to 5 years.

Red Alchemy
Winemaker Amy LaBelle performed her style of “Alchemy” blending Baco Noir, Noiret and Corot Noir to create this easy red dinner wine full of fruit, spice and woodland notes that is neither too light nor too heavy. At 1% residual sugar, Red Alchemy is a crowd-pleasing wine delicious with poultry or beef dishes, and wonderful with salmon. Noiret is one of Amy’s favorite grapes to work with and LaBelle Winery grows Noiret in the Pedroso Vineyard, which you pass on your left as you drive into the winery.
Dry Pear
The next time you enjoy a pear, close your eyes and focus on the extraordinary flavors & aromas of this everyday fruit. “I have always wanted to make a pear wine,” says winemaker Amy LaBelle, “to capture & transform these characteristics into a gorgeous dinner wine.” The humble pear expresses itself with elegance and a crisp acidity in this dry, fragrant table wine filled with soft fruit & floral tones. Enjoy LaBelle Dry Pear wine with salads, seafood, or chicken dishes, or with a beautiful cheese course. This wine also makes an excellent aperitif.
Chardonnay
Our Chardonnay finds balance in both body and style. Winemaker Amy LaBelle blends the traditional Chardonnay grape with the cold-hardy Vidal Blanc; creating a wine true to our New England fruit. LaBelle Chardonnay is not over-oaked, aging only briefly in French Oak. 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.
Virginia Mae Sweet Blueberry
Created at the request of customers, LaBelle’s Sweet Blueberry will envelope your palate in rich, deep flavors of blueberry without being too sweet or cloying. Full-bodied and rich, this wine pairs well with appetizers like olives and roasted peppers, quality mild cheeses and dessert dishes. Excellent on its own as dessert and wonderful reduced as a compliment to grilled beef. A portion of this wine’s proceeds will be donated to ALS research in honor of the wine’s namesake, Virginia Mae Procon Fois.
Infused with French oak up to 5 months.
Can be bottle-aged up to 10 years.
Dry Apple
If you like Pinot Grigio, you’ll love this wine! Small batches of our favorite apple varieties are fermented immediately after pressing at a low temperature. This preserves the fruity freshness, yet lends a crisp calvados nose to our flagship wine. A wonderful aperitif, this wine is also excellent with seafood, poultry, light meals, or to balance a creamy, heavy one. Drink this dry wine as you would any white wine. Best chilled.
Americus
Americus is a dry and bold red with savory dark fruit notes and loads of pepper on the palate. A blend of Cabernet Franc and the French hybrid grape Noiret, the rich tannin structure pairs well with grilled meats & heavier dishes. This is winemaker Amy LaBelle’s answer for a bold & full-bodied red, sourced from grapes grown in a cooler climate. Compare this wine to a Shiraz.
Infused with French oak up to 6 months.
Can be bottle-aged up to 10 years.
About Cabernet Franc: Cabernet Franc (along with Sauvignon Blanc) is one of the parent grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon. It produces wines similar in style to the more famous Cabernet Sauvignon, but lighter bodied, with less tannin and more aroma. It can have herbaceous (green pepper) aromas.
About Noiret: Moderately cold-hardy grape created from a complex cross in 1973 at Cornell University and it withstands temperatures to -14 °F. Noiret produces wines with a deep red color, good tannins, and unusually robust pepper overtones.
