Our Wines
In 2000...
…we established Shalom Orchard as the first organic winery on the East Coast featuring fruit and honey wines. All of our wines are produced from organic fruit grown on our own farm or sourced from other nearby local organic farms. We specialize in apple, blueberry and pear wines and smaller productions of cranberry, kiwi, and honey mead wines.
Our Philosophy Of Winemaking
We are dedicated to maintaining the integrity of the fruit’s true flavor in our wines. Our fruit wines are both organically grown and vinified, certified by MOFGA under NOP standards. As a certified organic winery, we proudly abstain from using sulfites and other chemicals common in conventional winemaking, setting us apart from wines that merely feature organically grown fruit.
Blueberry Wine
A long cold fermentation retains rich blueberry flavor and healthful anti-oxidants. Compares to a full-bodied red wine, and pairs with meat & bean dishes.
Honey Mead
Light, charming, honey flavor, slightly sweet, excellent for sipping or paired with light desserts.
Pear Wine
Dry & flinty with a superb pear flavor & aroma, with a tart, crisp finish. Excellent pairing for our local seafood.
Apple Wine
Aged three years to bring out it’s robust apple character this wine is fruity and mellow with residual sweetness. Excellent with cheeses and desserts. We also make an Apple Cyser fermented with honey.
Cranberry Cyser
Fermented with our own apple cider, which extracts a full cranberry flavor, and honey which balances the tartness of the cranberries. Pairs with poultry and cheeses.
Apple Cyser
A Dry Apple Wine with two dozen Apple varieties for a complex flavor, with added Honey Aromas and Overtones.
Dry Mead
A Clean Dry Mead with amazing fruit & floral aromas & flavors without any cloying sweetness.
