All About Turtle Pond...
     

Location
Turtle Pond Wines is located in the heart of Governor Francis Farms. The rose-covered water tower that stands guard over Turtle Pond is reminiscent of country chateau-style French architecture.

History
Wines from our first vintage in 2001 were crushed at our newly constructed sunning and arbor area. Turtle Pond's original winemaking facility was constructed in 1988. All subsequent vintages have been produced at our winemaking estate.

Wines Produced
Six vintage-dated varietals:
 Turtle Pond Red
 Pinot Noir
 Chianti
 Cabernet Sauvignon
 Rioja
 Merlot
and an occasional dessert wine, most recently 2004 Limited Reserve Gooseberry.

Small Lot Winemaking

Small batch winemaking allows us to bring out the very best from each lot of fruit. Because individual-lot winemaking promotes increased knowledge about how to manage each vineyard while offering maximum blending options and enhanced quality control, Turtle Pond insists on crafting each lot of wine separately.

Other producers our size opt for single varietal winemaking.
But not Turtle Pond, where:
  Each wine is selected, fermented, and barrel aged separately.
  Approximately 4-6 different wines are produced each vintage.

Cellar News...

From our Assistant Winemaker James Angelos

Our success begins with our talented staff....

March 28, 2008 - Spring is beginning to show itself in Governor Francis. The stubborn snow, sleet and rains have stopped, at least for the moment, and the trees around the vineyard are beginning to show signs of life. This is an indicator that the grape vines are not far behind and bud break is eminent. We have blended and bottled our 2004 Pinot Noir and we are currently working on blending our 2004 Kent County Chianti. The 2004 Limited Reserve Gooseberry is coming along splendidly.

April 14, 2008 - The grape vines have been readied for spring and should be showing rapid signs of life. Turtle Pond is silently preparing for the warm weather. Any day now there will be a parade of turkey-sized snappers burrowing their eggs into the garden beds! Watch for the photos of the turtles coming soon...

April 21,2008 - Gooseberry dessert wine has been bottled! That's right, after the long wait we are proud to announce that the yield was even larger than we anticipated. Turtle Pond will be announcing more varieties like this in the near future.
