January 2024 was the beginning of a new year and a new chapter in Clover Hill Vineyards & Winery history – the development of Clover Hill Spirits and the expansion of our product line.
For years, Clover Hill Winery has been making port wines, but the high-proof alcohol used in the ports was produced off site. As the popularity of our port wines grew, so did the desire to do our own in-house distillation.
At the end of 2023, we purchased a custom-crafted diamond head still from Kentucky which allows us to produce vodka, brandy, gin and more! The ‘original’ winery production area and tasting room at the top of the hill in Breinigsville now has been repurposed as the distillery. Winemaker John Skrip III also is the head distiller of Clover Hill Spirits.
Clover Hill Spirits bottles will be sold at all four Clover Hill locations. We also plan to serve a monthly seasonal cocktail at all locations.
We are thankful for your continued support of Clover Hill and we hope you find our expanded product line pleasing to your palate. Cheers!
VODKA
Vodka can be consumed straight, over ice, as a shot or through the most popular option in a cocktail such as a Martini, Moscow Mule, Cape Cod, or Bloody Mary.
WHITE BRANDY
White Brandy can be used as a direct replacement to vodka. Simply substitute White Brandy in anycocktail where vodka is used and use it at the same volume. It would work well in a Tonic, Bloody Mary, or Cosmopolitan.
BRANDY
Brandy traditionally is served alone (i.e., neat) in a brandy snifter and sipped over time, allowing the heat from your hands to warm the glass. The benefit of warming brandy is that it allows the spirit to change, enhancing its flavor and aroma.
Brandy also can be served over ice or in cocktails. Traditional cocktails include a Metropolitan, Sidecar, and Brandy Alexander.
