Clover Hill releases its "Naked" Chardonnay

Grape harvest is just around the corner!

August is one of our favorite times of the year. The vineyards are in great shape and are going through veraison which is the transition from berry growth to berry ripening. This is the final step before harvest. Keep up to date on the 2012 vintage by liking us on Facebook.

We have released the 2010 Generations N~Chard. This is a limited edition of unoaked Chardonnay (naked Chardonnay) and a favorite of our winemaker, John Skrip III. Of course he is bias because the Chardonnay grapes came from Clover Hill’s Sunset Vineyard, which happens to be where his house is located. The wine is rich in flavors of cantaloupe, melon and apricot and bright with fresh, clean acidity. Also, the very popular Strawberry Merlot is nearly sold out, so get it while you can!

Our event schedule features wonderful ways to enjoy your visit to Clover Hill Winery or you can come on a quieter weekday and enjoy a glass of wine on the patio with a picnic. Our Robesonia location in Berks County is now open seven days a week: Monday-Saturday 11 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. and Sunday noon - 5 p.m.

Thank you for choosing Clover Hill wines. There is no better month to enjoy locally grown foods with a glass of our locally produced wine than the month of August!

Owner's Selection - Vidal Blanc

A haven of fruit and tropical flavors such as lemon, melon, and pineapple, there is a slight sweetness in this wine that balances the bright, fresh acidity. Vidal Blanc pairs nicely with Mexican, Thai or Asian foods.

Clover Hill Winery Photo Expedition with Dan’s Camera City

Fancy yourself an amateur photographer? Then join Dan's Camera City at Clover Hill Winery in Breinigsville for a photo shoot. Here's a description of the photography session offered by Dan's: 

From the industrial elements in the wine making areas, to the charm of the barrel room and large store display areas, Clover Hill Vineyard offers a wonderful combination of photographic opportunities. Couple these areas with the sweeping vineyard on a gentle hill and there are plenty of great photographs waiting for you to create them. We timed our trip to coincide with the beginning of the harvest, so we're likely to have plenty of large grape clusters on the vines.

Renowned photographer Lou Manna will join us to provide a lecture and hands-on guidance during the shoot. Here’s your chance to have a highly successful New York photographer guide and chide you on improving your photo skills. Lou has published books on food photography and is also well known for his street photography capturing great photos on the fly, on location.

This class is open to owners of any brand camera. A digital SLR with at least one zoom lens and a high capacity memory card are recommended. Point and shoot cameras with longer zooms, and some manual setting are acceptable. Information will be presented assuming you are comfortable with the basic operations of your camera.
