| Description: | This is a truly exciting project happening in our own backyard! The Atlantic Wine Project was created by our friend Patrick Harney in collaboration with Bellview winery. We tasted through all of his Jardín wines as well as several Bellview wines and we were so impressed that we purchased 3 different wines to proudly stock from N.j. in N.J.!. Founded in 2000, Bellview Winery is located on soil that the Quarella family has been farming for a century. A hard-working Italian-American family who loves to grow things, the Quarella's are led by Jim Quarella, founder and president of Bellview Winery, who takes pride in crafting fine estate wines exclusively from the grapes that are cultivated in their own 50 acres of vineyards which they farm with sustainable methods. Attention to detail and high quality is evident in each wine, which include over a dozen estate grown varietals as well as a selection of white, red, fruit, and specialty wines including a Port and an ice style wine. Bellview has also become well known for its Dandelion wine made from an old Quarella family recipe that goes back for generations. Part of the success of Bellview is focusing on grape varieties well-suited to the Outer Coastal Plain soils and climate, which means that the consumer will have the joy of discovering new grapes. Jardín Red is made of Cabernet Franc, Chambourcin and Blaufrankisch. Chambourcin is a signature red grape of the Mid-Atlantic region which is resistant to mold and is a hybrid grape. Cultivated by seasoned growers, it can produce a seriously good red with lovely red fruits and spices. Cabernet Franc is having more success in recent years on the East Coast and imparts an elegant freshness. The sandy, gravel soils of the Outer Coastal Plain play a key role in this wine's balanced acidity and elegant texture. The humid, maritime climate here is well-suited for the grapes in Jardín Red as well. |
