Elizabeth & Richard Hamilton embarked on their dream of opening a winery when they purchased 15 acres of land in Constantia, NY in 2012. Within the first year of ownership they planted their first acre of grapevines which were Marquette & Diamond (both hybrid grapes). In 2013, they planted more Marquette & another cold weather hybrid Brianna.
Having grown their vines for five growing seasons, the Hamilton’s had their first harvest in 2017. Their largest harvest was their Marquette grapes, which contributed to the production of their Marquette Rose. Having produced 30 cases of Marquette Rose, this award-winning wine sold out in three months and continues to please.
In 2018, the Hamilton’s harvested Marquette, Brianna, and Diamond grapes. It was an exceptional growing year and one of the best vintages thus far. The Marquette grapes were once again used to produce a Rose that is currently entering competitions.
