Welcome To Westport Rivers Vineyard and Winery

We are passionate about our farm; and we are passionate about the soil and sunlight that join together in our ripening grapes. Our great unexplored territory, Massachusetts' grown wine, is a blank canvas begging for exploration and creativity. Just how does Massachusetts grown chardonnay taste? What aromatics evolve in the tank and barrel? What style? What food to pair?

Our exploration is 25 years along and we've learned that Massachusetts' grown wines are not only exceptionally flavorful but also crisp, clean and a pleasure with our local foods. Got scallops? Got oysters? Got local cheese? We've got the wine.

Come visit and learn about the ancient craft of winemaking, how our family uses both old and new techniques, how we emulate champagne and how we embrace exploration and creativity in our wine cellar.

Current Releases include:

New Release: 2006 Westport Brut "Robert James Russell" - superb traditional method sparkler with loads of lovely frothy mousse. Lively aromas of pear, apple, white cherry and subtle toast float over flavors of bright fruit and mouthwatering acidity.
Available wherever anyone cares about world class Massachusetts grown sparkling wine! And that also means our online store.

New Release: Grace. Scoring a 92 and earning Gold Medal status at the World Wine Championships, our aperitif Chardonnay was 7 years in the making. To make Grace is deceptively simple. We take our estate grown eau de vie of chardonnay and blend it with brilliant, fresh pressed chardonnay juice. Then age it in French oak. Give the elements time to evolve and the result is nothing short of heavenly. Aromatics of lemon zest, rich toast, ripe pears lay across sweet, succulent fruit. The flavors and aromas of our sun-drenched season become a blessing for us today. Savor Grace before the meal with most cheeses, pate, and of course, foie gras. 17.5% alcohol by volume. 375ml bottle. $29.99. Grace is here (and no, you don't deserve it). Only available at the winery or our online store.

NEW RELEASE 2009 Pinot Gris "Winemaker Selection"
Each year we’ve made Pinot Gris, I’ve experimented with different techniques of harvesting this amazing grape. In 2009 we picked by machine and let the grapes sit in the press, juice and all, for several hours before pressing. By doing so, some of the color and aromatics from the skin enter into the wine. What you’ll experience as you enjoy this bottle is the result as rich aromas of mixed fruit, ripe pears and quince are kissed by citrusy lemon and tangerine. This is a very richly layered Pinot Gris with a round, elegant mouth feel and a lingering creamy finish. I’m truly pleased with the results and have declared this a Winemaker's Selection.
Available at the winery or our online store $24.99
Only 140 cases made.

2010 Pinot Noir Rose - 100% Pinot Noir
In 2010 we harvested these grapes at perfect ripeness for a rose. Our Pinot Noir Rose is both graceful and delicious (as one might expect from this amazingly versatile grape). Aromas of ripe candy apple with hints of cherries and cotton candy lead to a sublime tree fruit flavor with rich berries and cream on the finish.

2009 Chardonnay - 100% Chardonnay
We fermented over 80% of this wine in well-aged french oak with the resulting oak nuance.
