Behind the Label: Sweet Hadley Jo

Sweet Hadley Jo is an off-dry red wine crafted from Chambourcin grapes and back-sweetened with Cabernet Sauvignon fruit concentrate—and it’s been a customer favorite since its release! Bursting with notes of stone fruit and a subtle hint of chocolate, this wine greets your palate with rich, sweet dark cherry and a touch of spice—much like its namesake, our sweet granddaughter, Hadley Jo.

Born in 2023, Hadley Jo inspired us to create a wine as special and spirited as she is. While she’s certainly sweeter than the wine that bears her name, at two years old, she’s already showing a bit of spunk that keeps us on our toes! Naming a wine after her may have set a precedent—we hope to one day create a unique wine for each of our future grandchildren—but Hadley Jo will always be the first.

With a residual sugar level that classifies it as off-dry rather than semi-sweet, this wine is incredibly versatile. It’s perfect for sipping on a crisp fall day, pairing with a charcuterie board, or enjoying alongside a hearty steak dinner.

Sweet Hadley Jo has already made a mark—winning Best of Show at the 2025 Governor’s Cup and taking home a Gold Medal among all semi-dry reds in the state.

Next time you visit, we’d love to pour you a sample—and show you a picture of our one-of-a-kind Sweet Hadley Jo!
