Red Wines

While our region is associated more with white wines, Presque Isle is noted for producing unique award-winning red wines that have held their own against wines from the West Coast and around the world in competition. Many red vinifera grapes grow very well in our region, especially varietals such as Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Blaufränkisch, and Teroldego.  French hybrids such as Noiret (NY 73) and Chambourcin are also making some truly excellent wines worth trying.  Our Freeport Red is a highly decorated semi-dry wine that appeals to every palate and, of course there is our famous native Concord sweet red.
