Andy of Farmer Wines said it best...
"One thing I have always loved about wine is the unique quality of each vintage. Every year brings an un-repeatable combination of sun, clouds, wind, rain, cold, snow, more cold, and regeneration to Vermont. Every year our footsteps, hand placements, pruning cuts, timing of tractor passes, and harvest dates land in different places. Every year the vines express a different message and give us what fruit they can. This is what terroir means. All of it together.
2025 was a cool, dry year and that means the blend of grapes in Vino Freddo is a bit different this year. We harvested smaller quantities of the red grapes Petite Pearl, Marquette and Crimson Pearl than in 2024, while harvesting more of the white grapes L'Acadie Blanc and St. Pepin.
The 2025 Vino Freddo from Farmer Wines is a refreshing chillable red porch pounder. Thirst quenching aromas and flavors of cranberry, cherry pie, dried orange peel and soft herbal notes with bright acidity are waiting for you. Stick it in the fridge or the cooler before enjoying it on its own or with your favorite foods. Once again, we think this is the perfect red wine to have with seafood: oysters (that’s right!), lobster, smoked sardines, bluefish pate, calamari salad to name a few. Try it with any grilled fare. It goes great with a bowl of pistachios. Roasted chicken and local cheeses are perfect with it too.
Vino Freddo is made with spontaneous fermentation and is never filtered or fined. Farmer Wines come to you directly from the grower! We are grower owned and independent - just hard working farmers and a great winemaking team. All of our grapes are grown with intention in West Pawlet, VT. Our commitment to ourselves, to you, to the people that farm with us, and to the land is to farm sustainably and ethically."
