Juices are:

• Settled for clarity
• Held at 35 degrees Fahrenheit in enclosed containers for freshness
• Normally sulfited for freshness; Reds: 40 ppm Whites: 60 ppm
• Red grape skins are available (fresh and/or frozen per request) to make full bodied, deep colored wine (See order form)
  

Presently we have 14 varietals including Vinifera, French Hybrids and Experimental Varieties and several carefully selected blends of juice. Our carefully maintained vines and constant monitoring for quality insure a great start for your winemaking efforts. The grapes and juice at Vigna del Monte are fresh so our availability is only in the fall when we harvest. We provide grapes and juice for the home winemaker in the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York region.
