New Hampshire Wine

for this region?

is a relatively new wine-producing state with just three commercial wineries, Jewell Towne Vineyards, Flag Hill Winery and Candia Vineyards, each making wine from locally grown grapes. Despite its short history, New Hampshire wines have already caught the international eye with Jewell Towne earning over 40 medals in prestigious international competitions.

A selection of French hybrid varieties grows successfully in the northern New England climate, including Seyval, Vignoles, Cayuga, DeChaunac, Marechal Foch and Vidal, as well as some Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The two oldest wineries - Jewell Towne and Flag Hill - both bottled their first vintage in 1994, beginning with as little as 40-50 cases but building to several thousand today. Along with the quality grape wines being produced, an interesting complement of fruit wines is also being made. Experimenting with local specialties, a sweet dessert wine has even been fashioned from pure maple syrup. – Description from Appellation America (view original content)

  • Farnum Hill Cider Semi-Dry NV

    Snoothrank:

    Seemed somewhat dull and not particularly interesting. Reminiscent of apple juice but without the candy-like sweetness. Maybe it would taste better warm? Read More

  • Farnum Hill Cider Semi-Dry NV

    Snoothrank:

    Has the flavor of apple juice, but without the excessive sweetness. Overall, however, the flavor was flat and not particularly interesting. It feels a little weak, even watery perhaps. Read More

  • Farnum Hill Farmhouse Cider NV

    Snoothrank:

    Bold green apple flavors, with hints of banana and spice. The finish was disappointing -- a bit chalky for cider Read More

  • Farnum Hill Farmhouse Cider NV

    Snoothrank:

    Farmhouse Cider - This has the freshest and most apply nose of the three ciders. Surprisingly it may also be the sweetest, but just barely. Theres nice straight up mid-palate of pure apple fruit with touches of orange and lemon in the inner mouth perfume. The finish is long, again with a slight edge of citrus fruits built around a clear core of... Read More

  • Farnum Hill Cider Semi-Dry NV

    Snoothrank:

    Semi-Dry CiderSweet, candied green apple notes on the nose are joined by hints of papaya and ginger. This really is semi-dry with enough sugar to add just a touch of flesh to the palate and help balance the bright acids. This is all about fresh, crisp apple fruit with a nice creamy texture and a bright almost citrussy finale. Read More

  • Farnum Hill Kingston Black Reserve Cider 2008

    Snoothrank:

    Perfumed, a bit yeast, smells like clay, earth, banana peel, a bit of prosciutto. This really shares a striking resemblance to Emidio Pepes Trebbiano. There is a fine, penetrating note of baking apple thats woven into this bouquet with just a touch of Orange Blossom. Dry and still, this is surprising cider with phenomenal acidity and bright cri...
