Galer Estate’s 2013 Chardonnay from Equivine Vineyard as their “Best in Class” and also chose Galer Estate’s 2013 Albariño as a Bronze Medal winner.

Wine expert, Paul Vigna wrote, "Chester County's Galer Estate was the region's most notable winner in the International East Wine Competition, which was staged in Sonoma, California... to win anything in this national wine competition, one of the most recognized of those staged through the year, is flattering and something that can be advertised and marketed throughout 2015." Galer Estate is the only winery in Pennsylvania to win the honor  "Best in Class" for this competition.

“Winning these awards demonstrate that our wines and those produced from our terroir can indeed be world-class.  It requires an entire team to make quality wine, including the people working in the vineyards, the winemaker, and all of the many people who help at every stage from grape to glass. We are very proud of our entire team,” said Brad Galer, MD co-founder of Galer Estate Vineyard & Winery.

Galer Estate Vineyard and Winery is a boutique winery that produces and sells wine made from Chester County grapes in their state of the art winery located just behind Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA. This recognition marks the start of another great year for Galer Estate, which has won over 90 international and national awards and medals since opening in the Winter of 2011. Say co-owner Lele Galer, "We are really looking forward to our new wines that will be released in the spring and summer of 2015. We are especially pleased with our 2014 "Red Lion Chardonnay" which is made entirely from grapes grown on our winery property.”  Galer will also be introducing two new rosé wines and a semi-sparkling vidal blanc in 2015. They are open Thursday through Sunday for wine-tasting and purchases throughout most of the year, and have live music and art shows every week. www.galerestate.com; www.facebook.com/galerestate
