Farm Winery All farm wineries operate under the
Farm Winery Act requiring them to grow
a significant portion of the grapes (or other fruit for winemaking) they use
on site. There are also some commercial vineyards developing in Connecticut
that grow grapes to supply local wineries. CT Winemaking... A unique story The scale of the Connecticut grape growing
and wine making activity is small
compared with any of the traditional grape growing states. Every grape
growing area, though, has a story to tell in the grapes they grow because of
the unique soil and climate that area brings to those grapes. The
activity in Connecticut provides valid input to the diversity that makes grape growing and wine making regional and
interesting. Growing Grapes in Cool Climates Growing traditional wine grapes in
Connecticut can be a difficult task
because of the cold winters and wet seasons. However, experimentation
has helped refine the cultivars (grape varieties) and techniques (trellising,
etc.) that fit our conditions. |
