Alba Vineyard, in the Village of Finesville, Milford, New Jersey, recently won the most Double Gold and Gold & Silver Medals out of 17 Garden State wineries that participated in the year’s Finger Lakes International Wine Competition to benefit Camp Good Days.
This year was the biggest of the competition’s 11-year history with 788 wineries entered from 19 different countries. This event is the largest charitable wine competition in North America.
The Finger Lakes competition is judged by 60 national & international judges, representing sommeliers, educators, oenologists, winemakers, writers, importers, retailers, and industry consultants throughout the world.
Alba Vineyard, the Garden State’s largest winery, won medals for all seven it entered into the competition. Alba led all New Jersey wineries, winning two Double Gold for their 2008 Chambourcin and Ice Apple Wine, “Forbidden,” both scoring the highest of any wines in their class. Alba’s 2009 Estate Riesling, a perennial award winner, won Gold, and their 2009 Dry Riesling, 2009 Gewürztraminer, 2008 Heritage Cabernet Franc, and Red Raspberry dessert wines all won Silver.
Alba Vineyard is located among the rolling hills of Warren County, New Jersey, two miles east of the Delaware River and historic Bucks County, Pennsylvania, in the Musconetcong Valley in Pohatcong Township, New Jersey.
