This wine showcases Michigan terroir and how our sand and clay soils combine with our climate to produce wines similar to Burgundy. The 2025 vintage produced beautiful ripe fruit with excellent acid balance, resulting in a rich Chardonnay balanced on a sharp acid edge. The fruit and acid structure are complemented by 5 months of aging on the lees in 2 year old French Oak barrels. 

Our 2025 Generations Sparkling Wine is made from 100% Riesling. Each year our Generations sparkling celebrates the generations of people that have been caretakers of our property and the vineyards of southwest Michigan. The notes of ripe peaches and apple blossoms are prominent in this Charmant Method Sparkling. It is Brut in style, meaning that it is lightly sweet, making it fruity and refreshing. It is wonderful with cheese, fruit, salad, or dessert!

Our whole cluster pressed Pinot Gris has a beautiful blend of acidity and fruit. We take special care in the hand harvesting and gentle pressing of the whole grape clusters to avoid bitterness and maintain the delicate acidity. The resulting wine has flavors of ripe yellow apple and lemon peel with an elegant mineral finish.

Cabernet Franc is a red grape with thick red skins. If you hand pick early and press lightly you can make a white wine from this wonderful red grape. The careful monitoring of juice chemistry during pressing and special yeast selection create a complex wine with aromas of white grapefruit, meyer lemon, and apple blossoms combined with a great acid structure and underlying minerality. Our White Cabernet Franc pairs well with sunshine, dessert, or salad.

In the Northern Italian region of Friuli, Pinot Grigio is traditional made in a style called Ramato, which means "copper". Our Skin Contact Pinot Gris is inspired by this traditional style of wine. Unique color and flavor develop from extra time with the pink-colored skins, resulting in a beautiful copper color. The complex aromas and flavors of lemon marmalade, red apples, raw almonds, and soft cheese in this wine are balanced by a medium body and long finish. Is this an orange wine? A rosé? Or a White wine? Taste it and see what you think!

Carbonic maceration is a type of fermentation that allows grape enzymes to break down acid and sugar inside of the grapes before yeast fermentation begins. The process emphasizes fruity flavors and softens natural acidity. It is usually used on red grapes to make beaujolais nouveau, but I used the technique on Riesling instead. The result is a dry, but fruity and spicey white wine with flavors of cinnamon, ripe apricots, candied orange peel, jasmine flowers, and a white pepper finish.

The dry weather in October 2025 created perfect conditions for late-ripening Riesling to fully develop. The particular vineyard also maintained excellent acidity to balance the ripe peach and sweet jasmine flavors in our classic off-dry Riesling.

A 100% Gewurzträminer wine with pronounced aromas of lychee and jasmine that really sing! The flavors deliver the same exotic sweetness and finish with a zingy note of grapefruit pith. 5 % Residual Sugar

Nox means darkness in Latin. Our Nox Rosé is a dark and brooding Rosé created from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Blaufrankisch. Flavors of cherry kirsch, ripe strawberries, and rose hips jump out of the glass. A cult wine made in small amounts.

Blaufränkisch makes wonderful, food-friendly medium to light bodied wines with bright acidity. To add structure and longevity, our 2024 Blaufränkisch was aged for 6 months in 100% New French Oak barrels. This wine is perfect at cellar temperature (56 degrees) and shows flavors of black and red raspberries, cocoa, vanilla, and spice. It pairs well with spicy foods and unusual flavors due to its juicy acidity and soft tannic structure.

Our 1904 Red Blend celebrates the year that our historic tasting room and inn was built. It also tells the story of each vintage. In 2024 there were very few red grapes harvested due to a January cold snap that damaged the vines. Tannat and Blaufränkisch were two excellent red varieties that pulled through. The tannic structure of the Tannat is balanced by the fruit and acidity of the Blaufränkisch in this blend, which was aged for 9 months in a mixture of new and used French Oak.

Our Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a 20 year old vineyard farmed by Joe Hermann, a pioneer in regenerative farming in Michigan. There are no herbicides used and the vineyard rows contain an undergrowth of native ground cover to suppress weeds. Many of the vines look more like small trees than grape vines! The farming is only the beginning. We took special care in making this wine, starting with a special Bordeaux yeast for fermentation, 23 day maceration on the skins, and 9 months in French Oak barrels. The structure of this wine is full, but not harsh, and it supports the generous flavors of red currant fruit beautifully. Additional hints of dried herbs and forest floor emerge in the glass. The 2025 Vintage featured a hot and dry fall that ripened our red grapes perfectly - this is a once in a decade wine!

Ice Wine is a special dessert wine made from grapes that are left on the vine until winter temperatures drop below 17 degrees. After they freeze on the vine, the grapes are pressed while still frozen. Much of the water remains frozen while only the most concentrated juice is released. The resulting wine is lusciously sweet, but balanced by high acid and pronounced flavors of orange marmalade, marzipan, and ripe peaches. The long citrus finish makes this wine a perfect dessert pairing.
