28-508: Coriole Vineyards is a winery located in the McLaren Vale wine region of South Australia . The original house and barn were built around 1860, while the Shiraz vineyard was planted in 1919. In 1962, after several changes in ownership, Coriole was sold to John Snell, who established Australia's first organic winery, Chateau Bon Sante, and built a small winery, which forms the basis of

56-469: A high wastewater output. To a lesser degree, wastewater is produced if boilers or water conditioning equipment is used. Aquidneck Island Aquidneck Island ( / ə ˈ k w ɪ d n ɛ k / ə- KWID -nek ), officially known as Rhode Island , is an island in Narragansett Bay in the state of Rhode Island . The total land area is 37.8 sq mi (98 km ), which makes it

84-511: A part of the school systems of Newport, Middletown and Portsmouth. Aquidneck Island is served by three bridges: The Claiborne Pell Newport Bridge (1969) connects it to Jamestown on nearby Conanicut Island in Narragansett Bay , and subsequently to the mainland on the western side of the bay. The Mount Hope Bridge (1929) is adjacent to Bristol Ferry and Common Fence Point and connects the northern side of Aquidneck Island in Portsmouth to

112-602: A penny was demanded for either, and what was paid was only gratuity, though I chose, for better assurance and form, to call it sale." These first settlers founded Pocasset, but William Coddington chose Newport for a settlement the following spring (1639) because of its excellent harbor, and some of the settlers followed him there. The British army occupied Aquidneck Island during the American Revolution from 1776 to 1779. The Continental Army under command of Major General John Sullivan attempted to drive them out in

140-661: A relatively large scale, if not evidence of actual wineries, has been found in the Middle East . In 2011 a team of archaeologists discovered a 6000 year old wine press in a cave in the Areni region of Armenia , and identified the site as a small winery. Previously, in the northern Zagros Mountains in Iran , jars over 7000 years old were discovered to contain tartaric acid crystals (a chemical marker of wine), providing evidence of winemaking in that region. Archaeological excavations in

168-420: A small farm vineyard is a small wine producer or may not have its own vineyard , and instead sources its grape product from outside suppliers. The concept is similar to a microbrewery , in that small batches of product are made primarily for local consumption. The concept of the micro-winery is not as easily accepted as that of the microbrewery, however, as the general public has been conditioned to associate

196-475: A special permit to open a satellite store in a tourist area. New York's passing of the Farm Winery Act of 1976 set an example for other states to pass similar laws. Farm wineries usually operate at a smaller scale than commercial wineries. Farm wineries are a form of value added marketing, known as agritourism, for farmers who may otherwise struggle to show a profit. A micro-winery can either be at

224-452: A wider range of wines; as it is not tied to the grapes it grows. New York State provides a specific micro-winery license that requires the microwinery to purchase local ingredients. The urban winery is a recent phenomenon whereby a wine producer chooses to locate their winemaking facility in an urban setting within a city rather than in the traditional rural setting near the vineyards . With advances in technology and transportation, it

252-420: A winery as having a vineyard. A winery uses similar wine-making equipment as a major commercial winery, just on a smaller scale. Glass carboys and sanitary plastic pails are often seen in the facilities of a micro-winery. Typically, each batch of wine yields 23 Liters (6 US gallons). One of the primary differences of a micro-winery as compared to a typical winery is that a micro-winery is typically able to offer

280-535: Is derived from the Narragansett name for the island aquidnet . Roger Williams was an authority on the Narragansett language, but he stated that he never learned the word's meaning. It is unclear how Aquidneck came to be known as Rhode Island, but the earliest known use of the name was in 1637 by Roger Williams, and it was officially applied to the island in 1644: "Aquethneck shall be henceforth called

308-465: Is not a problem for an urban winery to grow their grapes in a remote location and then transport them to the urban facility for crushing, fermentation and aging. Urban wineries have been opened in cities across the United States including San Francisco; Sacramento; Portland, Oregon; Seattle; Frederick, Maryland; New York; Cincinnati; San Diego; and Los Angeles to name a few. Wilridge Winery was

336-414: Is now commonly referred to as Rhode Island, and the official name of Aquidneck Island is still "Rhode Island". The United States Board on Geographic Names addressed the issue in 1930 by using both names of the island on its maps. By 1964, the board decided that having two names was confusing, and "Rhode Island" was used exclusively as the official name. Attempts have been made, as recently as 2004, to change

364-732: The Barossa Valley in Australia or the legendary wine regions of France ( Bordeaux , Burgundy , Champagne ) and Italy , wineries can be found nearly everywhere. The east coast of the United States also has winemaking regions like New York's Finger Lakes region, Aquidneck Island , RI and Long Island, NY and Cape May, NJ. Wineries do not have to be located adjacent to vineyards; grapes can be shipped anywhere. In addition, people make wine out of other fruits and plants (dandelion wine, apple wine, strawberry wine, honey wine, passion fruit wine), so these specialty wineries tend to pop up where

392-789: The Battle of Rhode Island on August 29, 1778, but without success. The island is home to Salve Regina University , the Newport campus of the Community College of Rhode Island , and International Yacht Restoration School . Naval Station Newport is located on Aquidneck Island and the adjacent Coasters Harbor Island . It is also home to two well known private boarding schools: St. George's School in Middletown and Portsmouth Abbey School in Portsmouth. The island also contains numerous public and private primary and secondary schools as

420-487: The fermentation of fruit, as well as blending and aging of the juice. The grapes may be from vineyards owned by the winery or may be brought in from other locations. Many wineries also give tours and have cellar doors or tasting rooms where customers can taste wines before they make a purchase. While some associate wineries with large winemaking regions such as Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley in California,

448-487: The Ile of Rods or Rhod-Island." The name "Isle of Rodes" is used in a legal document as late as 1646. One theory states that Adriaen Block passed by Aquidneck Island during his 1614 expedition, describing it in a 1625 account of his travels as "an island of reddish appearance" (in 17th century Dutch een rodlich Eylande ). Dutch maps from as early as 1659 call it "Roode Eylant" or Red Island. Historians have theorized that it

476-589: The U.S., Canada and various countries in Europe and Asia. They produce red wines from grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon , Shiraz , Sangiovese , Nebbiolo , and Barbera . Their range of whites is made from grapes such as Chenin blanc , Fiano , and Semillon . The business also sells olive oil , balsamic vinegar , and local cheeses. The Coriole Music Festival is a classical music festival comprising three concerts that has been taking place at Coriole since 1999. A different theme has been chosen each year, and

504-486: The existing modern winery. In 1968 the property was bought by Hugh and Molly Lloyd, who released the first Coriole label vintage in 1969. with the help of winemaker Graeme Stevens. In 1985 Coriole pioneered the introduction of the Italian Sangiovese grape variety into Australia. The winery is located in the McLaren Vale wine region in the state of South Australia . As of 1998 it was exporting wine to

532-556: The first urban winery in Seattle. Winery wastewater is primarily generated during the cleaning of winemaking equipment and facilities. The quantity and quality of wastewater shows seasonal variations. Wastewater handling involves collection, possible treatment, then disposal and/or reuse. Peak wastewater generation occurs during the "crush", in other words, when grapes are actively being processed into juice for fermentation. This process requires large amounts of clean water and results in

560-537: The largest island in the bay. The 2020 United States Census reported its population as 60,109. The state of Rhode Island is named after the island; the United States Board on Geographic Names recognizes Rhode Island as the name for the island, although it is widely referred to as Aquidneck Island in the state and by the island's residents. Aquidneck Island is home to three towns: from north to south, Portsmouth , Middletown , and Newport . "Aquidneck"

588-566: The mainland at Bristol . The Sakonnet River Bridge (2012) in Portsmouth connects the northeastern side of the island to the mainland at Tiverton over the Sakonnet River , a narrow saltwater strait. It is a replacement for a bridge of the same name built in 1956. The west coast of Aquidneck Island is part of Naval Station Newport , a superfund site since 1989. Almost the entire area from its fuel tank farms drains into ditches and into Narragansett Bay . The Navy has been rehabilitating

616-524: The music directors have included Christopher Burrell, Anthony Steel , Anna Goldsworthy , and Simon Cobcroft. From 2013, Coriole has played host to the Here's to Now music festival, held at the end of the year (or sometimes the first weekend in January). One reviewer wrote that the festival "could be described as ' WOMAD on a millennial budget'". Winery The earliest known evidence of winemaking at

644-559: The official name to "Aquidneck Island", but all of these have failed. The name Aquidneck Island is widely used in Rhode Island to refer to the island, including by publications such as The Newport Daily News . Colonists settled on Aquidneck Island in 1638 in the region that the Narragansetts called "Pocasset" (meaning "where the stream widens"), the northern part of Portsmouth . They engaged Roger Williams to negotiate

672-458: The other substances are grown. For example, a winery in Hawaii produces pineapple wine. A class of winery license known as the farm winery allows farms to produce and sell wines on site. Farm wineries differ from commercial wineries in that the fruit which is the source of the wine is usually produced on the farm, and the final product is also sold on the farm. States such as New York have given

700-493: The sachems. Canonicus and his nephew Miantonomi signed a deed for it. However, as Roger Williams made clear in a June 1638 letter to Puritan lawyer John Winthrop , one of the leading figures in founding the Massachusetts Bay Colony : "Sir, concerning the islands Prudence and...Aquedenick ...neither of them were sold properly, for a thousand fathom would not have bought either, by strangers. The truth is, not

728-417: The southern Georgian region of Kvemo Kartli uncovered evidence of wine-making equipment (containers called qvevri ) dating back 8000 years. In 2017 the remnants of an 8000-year-old facility for large-scale production was found 20 miles south of Tbilisi , Georgia . Wineries typically employ winemakers to produce various wines from grapes by following the winemaking process. This process involves

756-561: The terms of their settlement of the island from the Narragansett sachems Canonicus and Miantonomi . These settlers included William Coddington , Anne and William Hutchinson , Philip Sherman , William Dyer , John Coggeshall , Nicholas Easton , William Brenton , John Clarke , and Richard Maxson (Maggsen). As a thank you for being allowed to settle Aquidneck Island, the settlers gave the Narragansetts 40 fathoms of white wampum , 20 hoes, 10 coats, and 5 more fathoms of wampum for

784-597: Was named by the Dutch (possibly by Adriaen Block himself) for either the red autumn foliage or red clay on portions of the shore. In 1644, the settlements on Rhode Island ( Portsmouth and Newport ) united with Providence Plantations and Warwick to form the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations and, eventually, the State of Rhode Island (formerly State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations). The entire state
