We are going to take one last look at this past winter, only because it brought us a rare jem of a wine. We are proud to introduce our Generations Late Harvest Vidal. The grapes were hand harvested on a snowy Saturday in January from "The Point" vineyard, located at the point of Schantz Road and Rt. 863. We gently extracted the juice using an old fashion basket press and began the fermentation process. Fast forward four months and the end result is like sipping liquid gold.
The Generations Late Harvest Vidal has a rich lingering mouth feel with complex and intense flavors of dried oranges and peaches. There is a strong acidic backbone that gives this wine a zesty finish. Only 40 cases of this wine was produced so hurry, before it is all gone!
We look forward to you visiting a Clover Hill location in the near future. We have a number of fun events planned for the month of May, but if you can’t make a trip to Clover Hill, we are offering a shipping special May 15-18.
Please note: If you are traveling to the Winery in Breinigsville, Schantz Road will be partially closed until July 2015. Follow these directions around the road closure.

Clover Hill owners complete Pan-Mass Challenge to raise money for cancer rsearch
It has been a wetter than normal growing season. We can’t help but wish for drier, warmer weather for the few weeks left prior to grape harvest. We are pleased to report that the vineyards look clean and the fruit is in good condition but we are working hard in the vineyard. In fact, we can barely keep up with mowing the grass! Typically Niagara is the first grape we harvest during the last week of August. We do anticipate the harvest being later than normal this year based on the cooler temperatures and wetter conditions. Like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter to hear more about our 2013 grape harvest!
Pan-Mass Challenge 2013
My brother, John Skrip III, and I, Kari Skrip, would like to extend a special thank you to the many that supported ‘Team Four Leaf Clovers’ in the Pan-Mass Challenge. On August 3 and 4 we participated in a 192 mile bike ride across the state of Massachusetts to raise money for the Jimmy Fund to fight cancer. Together we raised nearly $10,000, of which 100% of every fundraising dollar goes to the Jimmy Fund.
Thank you to the many that supported and encouraged us on this ride. It was a wonderful experience for us and we rode in honor of our Dad, John Skrip Jr., who is a cancer survivor, and in remembrance of the many people whose names were given to us by friends and family members and were written on the handlebars of our bikes. At the completion of the ride, we celebrated the Pan-Mass Challenge with a large, cold glass of Sparkling Pinot Noir!

Clover Hill Classic to raise money for Jimmy Fund cancer research
Mother Nature has us on our toes this year! Our spring was much cooler than what we experienced over the last few years and bud break was two weeks later than what we typically expect. Then we had a late spring frost followed by a few stray hail storms. Overall the vineyards look good, but we did have minor damage from both the frost and hail. Right now the vines are producing flower clusters. Next the flower clusters will bloom and the fruit will set. Every week the vineyard brings us a new look and feel. There is no better way to enjoy our beautiful landscape than to sip a glass of wine on the patio at Breinigsville or Robesonia and watch the grapes grow!
We are very excited to be hosting the first ever Clover Hill Classic on June 15 (rain date - June 16) from 1-5 pm. Have an antique car, roadster, or a fancy ride that you would like to show off? Bring it to the winery in Breinigsville for this event. We are raising money for the Jimmy Fund and are suggesting a donation of $10 per car to participate. As a thank you for your donation, we will give you a token for a free glass of wine! 100% of the money raised will be donated to the Jimmy Fund to help fight cancer. Wine by the glass and food will be available for purchase.
From all of us at Clover Hill, we wish you a fun and safe summer. Stay connected with our summer happenings in the vineyard and the winery on Facebook and Twitter. Also, if you are planning a visit, please check out our latest house policies.
Owner's Selection
Save 10% on your purchase of Generations Sparkling Pinot Noir. Now only $22.50.
People always ask us, ‘what is your favorite wine?’ Well if you ask owner, Pat Skrip, she will certainly tell you her favorite is Sparkling Pinot Noir. When asked why she loves the Sparkling Pinot Noir, here is her response: “Oh, the bubbles and the beautiful pink color. How can you not fall in love with this wine just by the looks alone? Then you sip this beauty and your mouth is filled with delicate strawberry flavors and a classic yeasty undertone. Served well chilled, in a tall flute on a warm summer’s night…it doesn’t get better than that!"
Sparkling Pinot Noir is made in the Méthode Champenoise fashion and produced from 100% Pinot Noir grapes from our Broxspen Vineyard. As a reminder ~ use great caution when opening a bottle of bubbly! Always have the bottle very well chilled (at least two hours in the fridge and 20 minutes in the freezer works nicely) and never shake the bottle. Remove the wire hood on the bottle and keep your thumb over the cork. Gently hold the cork and slowly twist the bottle until you hear a soft pop. Always have a towel and flutes close by.

Clover Hill Vineyards celebrates the completion of harvest season
The 2011 grape harvest at Clover Hill’s six vineyards is complete and what a year it has been. This harvest we battled the rain, wind, birds, bees and some days we battled each other, but we did survive!
The growing season was going picture perfect. We had dry, warm heat with brilliant sunshine day after day in mid to late summer. Then Mother Nature changed her tune and gave us wet, humid conditions day after day. We worked exceptionally hard to continue to ripen our fruit and keep it clean and clear of any disease. We finally made the decision to continue picking as quickly as possible in order to harvest the fruit intact. On September 30 we picked the last grape from our vineyards and celebrated the end of a difficult season with a glass of Sparkling Pinot Noir! Right now we are going to now catch our breathe from harvest, but we promise to write a detailed summary of the 2011 grape harvest and post it to our website in the very near future.
The fall feeling is in the air and it is the perfect time of year to enjoy Spiced Apple warmed! We also have posted some delicious fall recipes for you to enjoy. Let us know on our Facebook page what your favorite fall wine is – we will email you a present for sharing!
Enjoy the season and we would like to thank you for your support and choosing to drink locally grown and produced wines! We look forward to your next visit.
