Amalthea Cellars award winning chardonnays are known to be rich, creamy, and layered with complexity. This comes from their dedication to the finest new oak, malolactic fermentation, and time.

At Amalthea, we embrace the philosophy that "wine is grown in the fields." To ask a farmer/winery to severely reduce crops to intensify fruit is to ask a lot but that is how superior wines are made. The finest wineries in the world insist this practice is the backbone to their greatest wines.

Being "le vigneron" (wine growers), we at Amalthea know that the wines are grown in the fields, not made in the cellars. In the cellar the winemaker is only the custodian of the natural process from vine to bottle.

Blending, one third of the art, is something under the winemaker's artistic control. In France the blending of between two and six different grapes has evolved the finest wines in the world. Our intention is not to mimic the wines of Bordeaux. We are selecting the finest grapes from Southern Jersey and blending them in proportions dictated by the three century-old, time-honored techniques of Bordeaux. Now our customers can judge which blend showcases our local regional grapes in the best possible light.
