2016 introduced three new wines to the Harbor Ridge Winery lineup

We are truly gratified by the overwhelming positive response to our new wines and urge you to come taste them. All three wines will be available for sale exclusively at the winery until Spring 2017, or online: HarborRidgeWinery.com

 Crimes Against Vines, released in late June, was a real labor of love, as it was the first of our wines to have come from our very own Marquette grape vines on the property.  This tasty blend of Cabernet Franc and Marquette grapes, sweetened with Door County cherries, explodes with flavors of raspberry, dark plum, cherry and chocolate, and finishes with a hint of vanilla. Based on what you’ve been telling us, it’s a crime to not absolutely love this wine!

Early July brought Over the Falls, made from the oh, so sweet Niagara grape.  Fresh and fruity from start to finish, this new wine has already become one of our best sellers.

The last of our new wines, Two Rows Make a White, premiered in late July and was an instant hit with our visitors during the hot summer here in Door County.  The yin and yang blend of tart and tropical Vidal Blanc, and sweetly spicy Gewürztraminer grapes both refresh and tantalize the taste buds.

                Hey, we’re just getting started!

In early 2017 Harbor Ridge Winery, will be releasing our first Premium Select Wine. How is this different from the rest of our wonderful wines?  Simply put, a Premium Select Wine is one that comes from an exceptional harvest of a specific varietal, aged in either our hybrid French/ American or Italian Garbelletto oak barrels for at least two years then bottled and stored several months before serving.  Once it is uncorked the end result is a superior quality wine well worth the wait!

Since each grape varietal is unique, each of our Premium Select Wines is distinctively different in the way it is crafted and in flavor.  All Premium Select wines will always be available in limited quantities. 

The first to premiere will be the Harbor Ridge 2013 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon.  We’ll fill you in on a secret: it is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!  2013 was a banner year for Napa Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, and we aged this sumptuous red for thirty months in our French/American barrels.  We’ll let you know when it is available for tasting and purchase, so make sure you hightail it over to the winery or our website when it’s officially available for sale. 

Next up will be our very first Port style wine made from our own Marquette Grapes, “The Harbor “. If history is any judge, like the rest of our fine wines, The Harbor will be yet another winner.  Stay tuned.

Lastly, we’ll be adding a new, highly anticipated semi-dry Rose` to our “fun label” line up sometime in the summer of 2017.
