New Hampshire

New Hampshire, with its picturesque landscapes ranging from the rugged White Mountains to the serene lakes and river valleys, is a distinctive winegrowing region in the northeastern United States. The state's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) benefit from a varied climate influenced significantly by the Atlantic Ocean and local topography. The cold, moist air from the ocean helps moderate the temperatures of nearby vineyards, providing a cooler growing season that extends the ripening period. This allows grapes to develop complex flavors while maintaining their natural acidity. Vineyards closer to the ocean thrive on cooler-climate grape varieties, producing delicate and nuanced wines, while those in more sheltered inland areas cultivate bolder, richer varieties.
