A tiny crop defines this limited-release wine. Focussed aromas of citrus, hay, and apple segue to fresh citrus and vanilla on the palate. No residual sugar and malolactic fermentation was blocked. Fermented and aged in 100% French oak barrels.
100% Chardonnay.
Aged in French oak, this wine exhibits classic varietal characters of blackcurrants and bramble fruit, with a touch of graphite on the nose. Approachable now, but will continue to age well for years to come.
100% Cabernet Franc.
The most ripe and concentrated Chardonnay yet from Antietam Creek VIneyards. The warm and dry vintage produced aromas of hay and citrus while barrel aging contributed subtle spice and a rich mouthfeel due to the practice of bâtonnage, the periodic stirring of yeast lees in the barrel. For 2019 we reduced the percentage of wine put through the secondary malolactic fermentation. This resulted in retaining more of the grape's natural acidity. Aged in 100% French oak barrels for 8 months.
100% Chardonney.
White wine sangria made with with natural flavors of peach, lime and lemon.
A very ripe vintage, showing with a pop of cassis, bing cherry, and cocoa on the nose. The palate is medium bodied, bright, with a strong backbone of oak spice and tannin. Enjoy decanted, with plenty of aeration.
42% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec
The vintage blessed us with an abundant crop that allowed us to make enough wine for our first varietal bottling. Vibrant aromas of red fruit supported by slight floral characters. The palate reveals a light and lively body with gentle tannins. The fruit is sourced from our estate vineyard planted on clay and limestone, just like in Pinot's native Burgundy. Not fined or filtered. 100% Pinot Noir.
Rich, brambleberry character on the nose, followed by classic aromas of black pepper and graphite on the palate. It’s one of the signature varietals of the Mid-Atlantic. Aged in French oak barrels.
75% Petit Verdot, 25% Merlot.
Made entirely with peaches (no grapes!), with a technique we crafted on site. Tree-ripened fruit is pitted by hand to ensure quality. Sweet, rich, and very aromatic. 4% residual sugar.
100% Peach.
While supplies last.
For 2016, Antietam Creek Vineyards made one red wine that expresses the essence of the Bordeaux blend: red berry character from Merlot, spice and pepper from Cabernet Franc, color and structure from Petit Verdot, with a hint of bramble berry and graphite from Cabernet Sauvignon. Complete malolactic fermentation and 14 months aging in French oak barrels provide softness and structure. 36% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Franc, 23% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Malbec.
