Great heart and great wine. This estate producing vineyard is pretty darn fantastic for both its proximity to Philly and their family-owned and operated style.
The vintner trusts his gut and handled Chardonnay in a really unique way. Very tart and playful. We brought a bottle of that home alongside the absolutely ridiculous Pumpkin Spice Mulled Wine.
Strong reds and whites - which I feel is pretty rare for any vineyard but especially in the PA and NJ area. Usually it’s red or whites - both both being solid.
Certainly a must visit if in the area. Better and more low key than a lot of vineyards nearby… the hospitality is top notch.
Could use slightly larger pours or a larger size tasting flight. A flight amounts to maybe 1.25 glasses of wine. I’d encourage them to be even more distinctive with their varietals. As it stands, they’re growing some very unique local varietals.
With whites, they’re predominantly dry with a hint of lemon (or in the case of the Chardonnay, a burst of lemon). Reds are soft with cherry and vanilla predominantly. There’s room for improvement with the reds - possibly growing some bolder varietals to blend with or bottle 100% could bring that change for me. The whites are very good.
They also do events in case you’re looking for a stellar venue. Good people, good vibe. We’ll be back.
