LaBelle Winery Announces New Granite Anniversary Red Wine

Amherst, New Hampshire – LaBelle Winery is proud to announce its partnership with the New Hampshire Liquor Commission (NHLC) as a sponsor of its 90th anniversary celebration. As part of NHLC’s “90 Years of Cheers” campaign, LaBelle Winery has created a special limited-edition wine, the “Granite Anniversary Red,” to commemorate nearly a century of NHLC’s service to the Granite State.

“We are honored to be part of this historic celebration,” said LaBelle, winemaker and owner of LaBelle Winery. “The Granite Anniversary Red is our tribute to NHLC’s legacy and the bright future of New Hampshire’s beverage industry. We’ve crafted this wine to embody the spirit of celebration and the rich heritage of our state.”

The “Granite Anniversary Red” is an exclusive artisan red blend that offers fruit-forward elegance with blackberry notes, a rich tannin structure and a smooth, dry finish. Crafted by winemaker Amy LaBelle, this tannat-based wine showcases the quality and innovation of New Hampshire’s thriving local wine industry.

“We are honored to be part of this historic celebration,” said LaBelle, winemaker and owner of LaBelle Winery. “The Granite Anniversary Red is our tribute to NHLC’s legacy and the bright future of New Hampshire’s beverage industry. We’ve crafted this wine to embody the spirit of celebration and the rich heritage of our state.”

NHLC’s year-long celebration includes in-outlet events, exciting prize giveaways and a nostalgic journey through the decades, reliving the flavors, trends and moments that have shaped our culture. As one of the sponsors, LaBelle Winery is excited to contribute to making this 90th anniversary unforgettable.

Justin Gunter, wine marketing and sales specialist at NHLC, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership:

“LaBelle Winery’s Granite Anniversary Red perfectly captures the essence of our celebration. It’s a testament to the quality of wines produced in New Hampshire and is a fitting tribute to our 90-year journey.”

The Granite Anniversary Red’s label design is a striking blend of elegance and celebration. It features a sophisticated black background showcasing LaBelle’s iconic “lady” logo in bold red foil. The “90 Years of Cheers” logo is prominently displayed, featuring golden champagne flutes. The wine’s name, “Granite Anniversary Red,” pays homage to New Hampshire’s nickname, “The Granite State,” while celebrating NHLC’s milestone anniversary.

“This label design perfectly encapsulates the spirit of collaboration and celebration,” added LaBelle. “It honors both LaBelle’s winemaking tradition and NHLC’s 90-year journey in serving New Hampshire.”

Wine enthusiasts and supporters of local businesses are encouraged to visit New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlets to purchase this commemorative wine, which retails at $24.99 a bottle, and to participate in the ongoing celebration events.
