Fruit Wines
Blackberry -
The Lake Erie region supplies us with the juice for
this luscious desert wine. By fermenting this wine
slowly at low temperature and controlling the acid,
we were able to achieve the sweetness & fruitiness
we wanted at a lower sugar level. Blackberry pairs
well with the richest, most intensely flavorful deserts.
Blueberry -
Made from fresh New Jersey Blueberries, this wine
bursts with flavors entirely from the fruit. Our Blueberry
wine was a Silver Medal Winner in the 2004 Pennsylvania
Wine Society annual competition. Loaded with healthy
antioxidants, it pairs well with flavorful deserts.
Cranberry -
This wine starts with Cranberries from New Jersey.
After fermentation we sweeten this wine to about 5%
sugar, but because of the natural tartness of cranberries,
this wine tastes about as sweet as our semi-sweet
whites like Cayuga and Vidal Blanc. Makes a fantastically
refreshing spritzer.
Mulled Apple -
Like apple pie in a bottle. This wine starts with
freshly pressed apple juice. After fermentation, it
is sweetened to about 4% sugar (medium-sweet) and
lightly flavored with our own custom blend of spices.
Serve warm or cold. GOLD MEDAL WINNER 2008 Keystone
Wine Competition
Peach -
Like all our fruit wines, our Peach starts with fresh
ripe fruit. This wine is different from those peach
flavored grape wines sold by mass marketers. Our peach
wine is lightly sweet with a medium body and the delicate
flavor and aroma that is unmistakably peachy.
Red Raspberry -
100% Fruit Wine. Raspberries from the Lake Erie Region
are the basis for this lightly sweet country wine.
The rich flavor of raspberry pairs well with chocolate.
One of our customers even replaces the water in her
favorite brownie recipe with Red Raspberry wine for
a special treat!
Strawberry -
From Strawberries grown right here at Shady Brook
Farm. Like many of our sweeter wines, 4% sugar seems
to be just right. This wine is delicate with the aroma
of strawberry jam. Serve with cheesecake, sugar cookies
or fresh fruit.
White Wines
Cayuga - Semi-Sweet White
This wine is made from Cayuga grapes from the Lake
Erie Region. It is lightly sweet and crisp like a
Riesling. This wine compliments Asian food, especially
slightly spicy Thai food. Also, a nice change from
Pinot Grigio for just sipping anytime.
Chardonnay - Dry White
Our Chardonnay grapes are purchased from Lancaster
County. Stainless steel finished, only partial malolactic
fermented, this is a leaner style of Chardonnay (i.e.
not “buttery”).
Niagara - Sweet White
This wine is made from 100% Niagara grapes from the
Lake Erie Region. It is sweet and grapey, with wonderful
fruit (grape, peach, apricot) and floral aromas. A
perfect little something sweet before bed. Serve chilled.
Nouvelle
All the white grapes from our own vineyard 2009 crop
went into this white wine made in the style of a Boujoleus
Nouveau. The result is a slightly sweet wine with
lots of rich peach and apple notes, similar to Piesporter.
Excellent with nutty cheese, mushrooms, shellfish
or shrimp.
Summer Sangria - Sweet White
Our white sangria is a combination of Vidal Blanc
and Chardonnay. Then we add natural citrus flavor
to create a refreshing party favorite for summer or
any time of year. Serve chilled, over ice or blend
with ice for a sangria slushy.
Vidal Banc 2008 - Semi-Sweet White
This wine was made using grapes from the Lake Erie
Region. It is lightly sweet and very much like a German
Liebfraumilch (like Blue Nun). Great with chicken,
mild fish, grilled vegetables, appetizers or for just
sipping anytime.
Red
Wines
Cabernet Sauvignon 2003 - Dry Red
2003 was a cool wet summer in southeastern Pennsylvania.
Cabernet Sauvignon needs a lot of sunshine to ripen
properly, and in 2003 it took until late October before
these grapes were harvested. What we got is a light
styled Cabernet, not too tannic with notes of green
pepper. Serve with beef.
Cabernet Sauvignon Proprietors Reserve - Dry Red
Cabernet Sauvignon, the king of grapes. This a hearty,
full bodied Cabernet with stout tannins and a long
finish. Hallmark notes of black currents and cherries
are underpinned by smoky barrel aromas. Serve with
richly flavored meats and game. Classically paired
with Lamb Chops.
De
Chaunac 2007 - Dry Red
De Chaunac is a French-American Hybrid grape developed
around 1860 by Albert Seibel and named for Canadian
oenologist Adhemar de Chaunac. It produces a mellow
red wine I like to use in place of Chianti. Great
with pasta dishes, lighter red meats and full flavored
fish, like grilled bluefish.
De Chaunac 2008 RS
In 2008 we wanted to see what would happen if we fermented
De Chaunac juice at a low temperature, in the mid
50's like we do for our fruit wines. The result was
lots of ripe plum and a hint of tangy raspberry in
the nose with rich, ripe plum and raisin flavors that
stay in balance through a lingering finish with just
enough tannins for body.
Chancellor - Dry Red
Chancellor, also known as Seibel 7053 is another French-American
hybrid grape developed around 1860 by Albert Seibel.
It produces a Burgundian style red wine that goes
well with light and dark poultry.
Concord - Sweet Red
Named for Concord, New Hampshire where this native
American variety was discovered, Concord is the quintessential
grape we have known since childhood. This wine is
sweet and tastes very much like grape juice. Concord
is a delicious sweet treat with the health benefits
of red wine.
Rose
Bank Wines - Red/White Blends
Rose Bank Blush - Lightly Sweet
2006 Bronze Medal winner at the Keystone Wine Competition.
Our Blush wine is a marriage of red and white wines
with just a hint of berry. Perfect in place of White
Zinfandel. Not too sweet, with just enough acid for
balance, our Rose Bank Blush compliments chicken,
pork, nutty cheeses and fresh fruit.
Spice Wine
Spice wine is a blend of red and white grape wines
lightly flavored with spices, very similar to Gluwine.
The spices are not overpowering to the light, clear
red wine. This wine makes an excellent baste for baked
ham. Serve warm or cold.
Dessert
Wines
Raspberry Secret
A sweet raspberry wine infused with the unmistakable
taste of real chocolate! Serve slightly chilled with
dessert or as a dessert itself.
