Tomasello Winery

Today, Tomasello Winery produces approximately 45 wines, almost all made from estate-grown fruit or fruit from local farmers including the much celebrated Sparkling Blueberry, made in the classical methode champenoise. Tomasello Winery uses only the top blueberries from the top growers from Hammonton (the Blueberry Capital of the World) in this wine. In 2016, over eight-eight years after its inception, Tomasello Winery farms nearly 70 acres of vines. We are the only third generation, family-owned winery in the State of New Jersey. Our wines can be found in 37 states nationally, in thousands of stores, as well as in Canada and Asia. Tomasello Winery is well-known for its premium wines - Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, -- and has also had great success with French Hybrids varieties including Chambourcin, Villard Noir and Vidal Blanc. With close to 40 wines produced, Tomasello has a wine for every palette, including obscure wines like its award-winning Rkatsiteli, a Russian variety grown at the vineyard. The winery has also won wide acclaim and legions of fans for its high-end dessert wines. These wines - Raspberry, Cranberry, Blackberry, Blueberry, Cherry, Pomegranate and our latest Pomegranate/Blueberry blend; along with three Fruit Forte wines (fruit wines fortified with the corresponding fruit eau de vie) and three sparkling fruit wines (including the newly released Red Raspberry Sparkling Wine), have earned the winery numerous prestigious national and international awards, as well as the praise of wine critics, dessert chefs and wine drinkers alike. "Quality in wine making is a function of quality fruit," explains Charlie. "To that end we use only the finest fruit from around the country to make our wines. We use Montmorency Cherries from Michigan, Cranberries from Massachusetts, Blueberries from New Jersey and Maine, Raspberries from Oregon and Marion Blackberries from the Pacific Northwest for our wines. The quality shows in the finished product. "We are very serious about the production of our fruit wines," he added. "The fruit wines in our portfolio are fermented in small lots under very cold conditions to maximize fruit character extraction. We select fruit from specific growers whose passion in fruit growing matches our passion in wine making. You will find these wines to be intense in their fruit character with layers of fruit on the palette and yet balanced in their relative acidity and sweetness. They have remarkable diversity in their use as a wine to drink as an aperitif, with a meal, with desert, or for use in recipes."
