History

The Hudson Valley, home to some of the country's oldest vines planted by French Huguenots in 1677, has a complex past with many failed wineries. However, the late 1800s saw more vineyards established, and Marlboro Imperial Winery opened in the 1940s as one of the first kosher wine producers. The passing of the Farm Winery Bill in 1976 attracted more vintners to the area, revitalizing the region's wine industry.

Terroir

Marlboro's cooler and humid climate, with a shorter growing season, is ideal for cultivating unique red varieties like Gamay Noir and Burdin Noir. The layered soil, mainly consisting of variations of silt and silty clay loam, adds complexity to the wines, influencing the texture and mouthfeel. Marlboro's terroir contributes to its position as a region known for producing premium kosher wines with distinct flavors, reflecting the intricate relationship between the soil, climate, and grape varieties.
