This American grape was considered in the 19th Century in Europe to be superior to the Champagne’s of France or the Rieslings of Germany. We think its peach and strawberry tastes make this a great sweet wine for picnics and casual events, and it is a perfect beginner’s wine for people new to the world of wine. Blended with another American grape, Niagara, we think many will like this all-American experience.

This deep purple, slightly sweet wine is a Noiret blend that is complex, with a hint of pepper and a long finish. Perfect for any red meat, especially with BBQ sauce, this is an easy drinking red wine that is not bold, but more reminiscent of great American Red Zinfandels.

This fruit-forward sweet wine is a unique blending by Spring Gate of American Concord, with its flavor reminiscent of the juice everyone has experienced at breakfast growing up, and the French Hybrid grape Chancellor. This wine, however, is made more complex with the French addition and introduces cherry and strawberry to the taste also. It is perfect for making spritzers, serving well chilled on its own, and drinking with salty snacks.

This gentle sweet white wine is a creative blending by Spring Gate of American Niagara and Cayuga grapes. It is full of the flavors of ripe peaches with a hint of citrus in the background, with a very long and pleasant finish. Perfect match for a mild creamy cheese, cold fried chicken with pasta salads, custard desserts like creme brulee and flan, or pies made with tart fruits.
