handcrafted wines from our own vineyard
Located in southwestern New Hampshire, our vines grow in clay and gravel laid down by Lake Hitchcock which existed over ten thousand years ago. The farm was built in the early 1800s, and an antique barn houses the winery.
We have chosen varietals that grow with vigor in these ancient soils: Frontenac, Seyval, LaCrosse, St. Croix, Frontenac Gris, Marquette, Foch, Noiret, and La Crescent. The distinct character of each is preserved through careful hand harvesting and attentive fermentation.

The Wines We Make
The Wines We Make
THE REDS
FRONTENAC
2016 Frontenac's deep garnet color complements its distinctive cherry aroma and inviting palate of blackberry, black currant, and plum. This wine is has a full body and wonderful spiciness from the American oak it has been aged with. Frontenac pairs well with hearty foods such as beef, lamb, pasta dishes, and barbecue. The 2014 vintage is also available in limited qualities.
St. CROIX
2016 St. Croix is a light-bodied, deep-red dry wine with soft tannins and aromas of blackberry, currant, violet, and spice. It is perfect with light meals, pasta, pizza, chicken, or salmon. St. Croix is also great with appetizers and soft cheeses. Several vintages of St. Croix is available.
MARECHAL FOCH
2015 Marechal Foch produces a medium bodied wine with a pleasant ruby color. This French varietal grape was originally grown in the Alsace region and is reminiscent of the Burgandian style wines with dark berry characteristics. Other vintages are available.
MARQUETTE
2015 Marquette is a medium bodied red wine with an attractive deep red color. It has aromas of cherry, black current and berries with a finish of spice and black pepper. This wine pairs well with pasta dishes in addition to chicken and lamb. The 2014 and 2015 vintages are aged with French oak, while the 2013 vintage is un-oaked with only a few bottles left.

MARQUETTE ROSé
2016 Marquette Rosé is an off-dry Rosé from our Marquette vines which exhibits a wonderful red berry aroma, a complex palate, and long finish. A great summertime wine to be enjoyed with light meals or completely on its own.
Wolf Pine RED
2015 Wolf Pine Red is a blend of Frontenac and Noiret and is an excellent full-bodied wine. Noiret, with its fine tannin structure, distinct black pepper character, and notes of raspberry and blackberry, fully complements the classic black cherry flavors of Frontenac. This wine sells out quickly and there are only a few bottles of the 2014 vintage available.
THE WHITES
happy camper
2016 Happy Camper is an off-dry white wine of Seyval Blanc and LaCrosse with subtle aromas of citrus and pear. This is a fun wine whether you have just hiked a trail with a view or are sitting around a campfire with good friends. 2015 is the first vintage of this wine and we are sure it will be a big hit.
La Crescent
2016 La Crescent has an intense aromatic nose of apricot, peach and citrus resembling Moscato. We produce La Crescent as a dry white wine. It is fruity and crisp while not being overwhelming. Serve chilled as an aperitif or with local cheeses.
Lacrosse
2014 LaCrosse is a full-bodied white wine with the aromas of pear and apricot and a slightly muscat finish. LaCrosse pairs well with seasoned chicken and seafood.
FRONTENAC GRIS
2016 Frontenac Gris is a wonderful amber-colored wine, presents enticing aromas of citrus and tropical fruit. Its brilliant balance of fruit and acidity creates a lively, refreshing wine. It pairs well with Asian cuisine, lobster and other shellfish, as well as spicy food.
