Current Releases 2005 Dijon Clones Chardonnay - Sold Out 2005 Pinot Meunier - Sold Out 2005 Amalie's Cuvée Pinot Noir
A quick word about the Amalie Robert Estate vineyard that produced the current Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir wines. Our plantings cover 30 acres. Those 30 acres are divided into 34 blocks to capture specific micro-climate and soil differences. All blocks are planted at 1,452 vines per acre and employ a Vertical Shoot Positioned (VSP) trellis. We believe the decision of when, and how much, to irrigate is so important that we leave it to Mother Nature. Our fruit is always harvested by hand. In researching the varieties to plant we learned a great deal about “clones.” Clones are much like our relatives, we are all just a little different, but the same family. Think of any team, from sports to “Survivor”, where everyone has different strengths. everyone contributes something that makes the team more successful. So it is with winegrapes. Some clones develop sugars before others. Some produce smaller berries. Some contribute exotic flavors, some do not. They each have unique qualities that can contribute to a great wine when blended together, or sometimes they can stand alone. We graft these clones onto several different Phylloxera tolerant rootstocks that match the soil profiles in each of our blocks. Rootstocks vary in the vigor they impart to the vines. They explore the soil and transport the character of our site into the grapes and wine. Amalie Robert wines may be ordered directly from the winery and are available in New Jersey, New York, Oregon and Washington.
