Shelburne Vineyard
|
|
It takes determination and dedication to be a winegrower in Vermont. This land is not for the faint of heart. At Shelburne Vineyard, we have been pioneers and champions of the Vermont wine region for over two decades. We love this place: its rivers and valleys, mountains and lakes. We love expressing the terroir of our soils & climate through our wines, and being conscientious stewards of this land.
We love being an integral part of the fabric of our community, supporting them as they support us.
Thoughtful stewardship of the land is our guiding principle when creating inspiring wines with varietal expression and regional character.

Cabernet Franc-Merlot Blend
A lighter bodied, oak aged wine with a smooth finish made and blended by us from grapes grown in the North Fork of Long Island (NY) appellation
|
Cayuga White
Crisp and fruity, hints of citrus in both taste and aroma. Small amounts of Riesling and Chardonnay are added to produce a balanced wine with full mouth feel and a complex finish
|
Coach Barn Red
Made by us from classic Merlot grapes grown on the North Fork of Long Island. Medium bodied and aged in oak

Lakeview White
Softer than our Cayuga White with a little bit of sweetness, this is a blend of mostly Cayuga with smaller amounts of Riesling, Chardonnay and Vignoles. The resulting mix goes well with light dinners or as a pre dinner drink.

The first red from our Vermont grown organic grapes. The grape variety (Zweigelt) originates in central Europe and survives and ripens well in our VT vineyard.

New World Red
VT grown, from new grape varietals developed in the northern US to survive and thrive in our north country climate.

Traminette
This wonderful grape recently developed by Cornell (a hybrid of the classic Gwertstraminer) produces a delightful, spicy wine that goes well with Asian dishes.

Vidal Blanc Ice Wine
Usually harvested in December at 15 degrees F when the grapes are partially frozen, with only the sweetest juice still in slush form. We aim to harvest the first fall day that temperature is reached. In 2003 we harvested on Dec 3 at 15F, and in 2004 on Dec 11 also at 15F.
