About Zoll Cellars

 Zoll Cellars is located in the home of Frank and Meghan Zoll, in beautiful Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. They use their half acre of property as a private winery that offers wine enthusiasts the unique experience to learn hands on how to make exceptional wine at harvest. The Zolls have created a beautiful winery, where the birds sing from the trees and chicken roam free. They use the biodynamic branch of organic farming. This type of farming is one step beyond organic. Not only do they not use harmful chemicals, but they harness the energies of the planets and constellations, as well as the energies from the elements: earth, wind, and water. They are big in supporting local farmers markets.

The Wines

2012 Dry Riesling

This Riesling was produced with fruit harvested along the Southern New England Coast from Rhode Island, Westport Massachusetts, and Bozrah Connecticut, just minutes from Mystic.

This is a blend of 75% Riesling, 15% Vidal Blanc, and 10% Traminette.  Traminette from Their  “estate vineyard” is a great compliment to Riesling. It offers a zesty grapefruit spiciness that really accentuates the bright grassy minerality in our local Riesling. Finished off dry so there is a hint of sweetness left to linger on your lips.

A brilliant golden luster with rich fragrant aromas of peach, honeydew, and pineapple.  Crisp with a subtle spice; savor this off dry and lasting flavor of New England.  Pair with herb baked brie and cedar planked salmon. 

750ml $14.99

2012 Pinot Noir

This Pinot Noir was produced with fruit harvested along the Southern New England Coast from Westport Massachusetts, and blended with Bio Bio Chile.

This is a blend of 100% Pinot Noir.  Our Massachusetts batch (85%) fermented in stainless with an Alsatian yeast strain and underwent malolactic fermentation then was finished off in new Hungarian oak barrels for only 2 months.  Chilean fruit (15%) was fermented and aged in 3yr old American oak barrels for 12 months.

Aromas of strawberry and spice with a light garnet color.  Flavors of cherry, rhubarb, and chanterelle brim on tha palate with a lasting smooth finish.  Pair with fiddleheads, Peking Duck, and peach tart tatin.

750ml $24.99

 2012 Cabernet Franc

This Cabernet Franc was produced with fruit harvested along the Southern New England Coast from Rhode Island, Washington State, and Bio Bio Chile.

This is a blend of 100% Cabernet Franc.  Rhode Island batch (50%) was fermented on the skins for 21 days and finished off in new Hungarian oak barrels for 5 months.  Yakima Valley Washington fruit (35%) was fermented on the Fx10 yeast strain and aged in stainless steel for 6 months to accentuate some bubble gum notes. Finally I blended 15% Chilean Cab Franc aged 12 months in 1 yr old American oak barrels.

This globally inspired blend brings all the depth of delicate American oak tannins, that soften the rustic new Hungarian oak, while the bright fruit from Yakima pulls it all together.
