2005 Chambourcin
Appellation: New Jersey
Winemaker: John Altmeir
Chambourcin is a grape of unknown origin that has been widely planted in France, the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States and to a lesser extent in Australia. Here in New Jersey, this variety has found ideal conditions to produce an enticing medium to full bodied red wine. Our 2005 Chambourcin is a good example of this grape's potential in our New Jersey vineyards. It exhibits strawberry and Bing cherry nuances in the perfumed aroma and rich flavors. Aging in small oak barrels gives this win...

2004 Pinot Noir
Appellation: New Jersey
Winemaker: John Altmeir
With new planting of Pinot Noir in our vineyards coming to bearing in the next few years we wanted to get some experience working with this often elusive but great grape variety. The grapes used to produce this wine were sourced from both coasts, 75% from New York's Finger Lakes and 25% from Oregon's Willamette Valley, and both are trucked fresh to our winery. The grapes were lightly crushed and given a 5 day "cold soak" prior to fermentation. Fermentation on the skins lasted 10 days and the win...

NV Old Mill Red
Appellation: New Jersey
Blend of Marechal Foch, Chambourcin, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon
Winemaker: John Altmeir
Most of us here at Alba drink more red wine than white, so we needed a good, solid everyday red. After many years of experimentation, our winemaker has developed just the right blend for our Old Mill Red that packs plenty of flavor but is soft and easy to drink, with meals or by itself. Composed mostly of Marechal Foch and Chambourcin, there are also small amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, which are all fermented and aged separately until blending. The wine is then matur...

2004 Barrel Reserve Chardonnay
Appellation: New Jersey
Winemaker: John Altmeir
Our 2004 Chardonnay Barrel Reserve is produced from specially selected lots of grapes from our best growers. The grapes are pressed and transferred to oak barrels where we ferment and mature the wine to create the special complexity that only barrel aging can achieve. During the maturation the wines were stirred in the barrels to prolong the contact with the yeast. This "sur lies" aging gives the wine added depth and texture and a pleasant creamy quality to the finish. This wine will pair well w...

2005 Chardonnay
Appellation: New Jersey
Winemaker: John Altmeir
Our 2005 Chardonnay is sourced from several East Coast vineyards, each contributing to the crisp, clean, bright, apple character typical of Chardonnay from the northeast. Both French and tight-grained Missouri oaks were used for fermentation and maturation, accenting the wine's bright fruit qualities with hints of roasted nuts and vanilla. This Chardonnay is a classic cool climate wine, more similar to the white wines of Burgundy, France, than to the warm climate wines of California or Austral...

2005 Dry Riesling
Appellation: New Jersey
Winemaker: John Altmeir
The wine is crisp and clean with rich, pure, clear Riesling character. It is especially suited to pair with many “Pacific Rim” seafood dishes, grilled seafood, dishes that are slightly salty, such as those with olives or capers, or with many salads. It also goes well with a variety of cheeses and is especially refreshing in hot weather. You don’t miss the sweetness a bit! This wine is delicious now, but will continue to develop and age for 4 to 6 years.

NV Mainsail White
Appellation: New Jersey
Vidal Blanc Blend
Blend of Vidal Blanc, Cayuga, Riesling,
Winemaker: John Altmeir
Our winemaker’s goal in creating Mainsail White was to make a wine that is suited to everyday consumption: easy to drink, light but flavorful, dry but with a soft finish. When asked how to describe it, we often say that it is like an aromatic Pinot Grigio. It is blended from three varieties, including Vidal Blanc, Cayuga White, and a little Riesling, to enhance the aroma. The wine is fermented cool, at around 55 or 58 degrees, which brings out the fruity flavors, and is then matured in stainless...

NV Alba Rosa
Appellation: New Jersey
Rosé of Marechal Foch
Winemaker: John Altmeir
Our Alba Rosa was the first “blush wine” to be produced in New Jersey back in 1984. We used the Marechal Foch grape (simply called Foch here) because when it is lightly pressed and fermented cool, it makes a wine with a delicious strawberry / raspberry character. Over twenty years later, we still make it the same way, except that we now blend the Foch with Cayuga White (a Pinot Blanc hybrid from Cornell University,) which contributes a delicious “peachy” flavor. Finished semi-dry, this wine is p...

2004 Vintage Port
Appellation: New Jersey
Marechal Foch Dessert Wine
Winemaker: John Altmeir
Our Vintage Port is produced predominantly from the Marechal Foch grape. The traditional method of making a port wine is employed; to halt the fermentation process, pot-stilled brandy is added to the must, so that a degree of residual sugar remains in the finished wine. The wine is then matured in small, older American oak barrels for one year, after which time it is bottled, and then aged in the bottle prior to release. Our winemaker has been perfecting this technique using our own grapes since...

Our first release of "Delaware Dolce" lives up to our expectations. The beautiful gold color promises richness on the palate. The aroma starts out as pineapple and honey, with floral notes and a background of the distinctive grapey aroma of Labrusca varieties. On the palate its rich honeyed sweetness opens up to a variety of tropical fruit combinations with floral, grapey overtones and a long sweet but balanced finish. This is a wonderful wine to serve with a variety of fruit desserts, rich cr...

NV Red Raspberry Wine
Dessert Wine
Winemaker: John Altmeir
This is a wine that is truly unique. It is produced entirely from whole red raspberries, fermented on the skins for twenty days to maximize the fresh berry character. The wine is finished sweet, with a slight tart edge to provide a rich berry experience without a cloying, syrupy finish. As a result, it is one of the few wines that can marry well with chocolate desserts. It is delicious mixed with Champagne, as in a “Kir Royale,” or simply served in a small glass as one would serve port or sherry...
