Newport Vineyards

Newport Vineyards Newport Vineyards was originally planted in 1977 on a hill overlooking Rhode Island Sound with the goal of producing fine wines and as a way of preserving beautiful agricultural land from rapid development. Aquidneck Island is blessed with one of the most desirable farming areas in the country, if not the world. This extraordinary micro-climate is created by a combination of the warm waters of the Gulf Stream to the south and the moderating effects of Narragansett Bay. These conditions provide a long, cool growing season ideal for developing complex flavors in wine. Wine is made in the vineyard. Paul Nunes, vineyard manager, believes that good wine is a combination of quality soil, climate, and properly managed vines. A vigorous, detailed and environmentally safe soil nutrition program is actively followed. Paul and his crew provide each vine with complete hands-on care from winter pruning to harvest. All vines are carefully pruned to maintain the balance needed for healthy vines and healthy grapes. A canopy management program is in place to ensure proper sun and wind exposure to the leaves. Grapes are also exposed to the sun by pulling the leaves around the fruit (by hand) in late July. All grapes are picked by hand and carefully delivered in small lugs to the crush pad.
