Our Wines

We pride ourselves on taking the time to craft high-quality dry red and white wines, estate grown on our 7.5 acre vineyard, partnering with other growers, and west coast fruit sourced to evoke Californa style - fruit forward and smooth. You'll find sweet and fruit wines too. Our winemaker has something for everyone.

Red Wines

Chambourcin: This midwest hybrid grape came from Southern Illinois, where we think this grape grows with the fullest expression. Soft, medium-bodied dry red wine with bright fruit flavors and aromas.

Marquette: A rich, dry red with aromas of new leather, tobacco, and red fruits. Darker fruit on the palette and a pleasant finish. Enjoy!

Leon Millot: Lighter bodied with French Oak, this dry red has varied red berry aromas with subtle white pepper and herbaceous flavor.

Bulldog Red Blend: Our estate grown red blend is nicely oaked with dark fruit and blackberries on the pallet, smooth and spiced on the finish. (available Fall 2024)

1st Harvest Red: Our Chelois grapes have produced this 'almost semi-sweet' red that is easy to drink chilled or room temp.

This is your summer picnic wine!

Resurrection Red: Our estate-grown St. Croix is the star of this sweet red blend. Named after the vines that Bob 'resurrected' in our Pekin vineyard when we first started growing grapes.

White Wines

Blanca Tres - Seyval Blanc: A light, dry white wine with melon, grapefruit, and citrus aromas. Slightly mineral with citrus, peach, hay and apple notes.

Black Dog White: This white blend of Edelweiss, Seyval Blanc and LaCrosse is lightly oaked in French for a touch of smokey cedar on the nose and a little spice.

Vignoles: Off-dry crisp white. Green apple, melon, and citrus aromas with a medium mouth feel and butterscotch on the finish. Stands up well to spicy food.

La X Peach: Crisp and light, our white La Crosse grape was fermented with local peaches so the Peach aromas come through.

Lightly sweet with a silky-smooth finish..

Traminette: With amazing floral notes, this semi-sweet wine is related to Gewurztraminer. A perfect summertime wine.

1st Harvest White: A blend of our first harvest, Traminette and Seyval Blanc grapes come together in a sweet fruity way. The floral and spicy and smoothness is just yummmm.

Sweet Maria: Our Estate Grown Edelweiss is from late harvest grapes, presenting a true 'foxy' expression, and is perfectly sweet.

Glacial White: This sweet white wine is made with Illinois Cayuga grapes. A fan-favorite, she's so smooth.

Rosé Wines

Leon's Rosé: Fruity and aromatic, this bright, dry rosé is a wonderful expression of the Leon Millot grape. Perfect for brunch or just for sipping.

Marquette Rosé: Estate grown, this wine has fruity aromas of cherry, strawberry, with a hint of melon. Crisp and dry, this rosé feels classic.

Bésita de Roja: "Little kiss of Red", this off-dry Illinois Chambourcin Rosé has strawberry and Maraschino cherry flavors. A perfect sipper all on its own.

Fruit Wines

Strawberry: Made from 100% strawberries (no grapes were harmed in the making of this wine). One sniff and you'll think you have fresh strawberries in your glass.

Peach Wine: We used 100% Calhoun County Peaches to make this sweet fruit wine. Juicy with a lingering finish.

RhuBerry: Rhubarb and Strawberry come together like your favorite pie. Tart up front, smooth and sweet on the finish. Get this while it's in stock! (seasonal and available as of June, til it's gone!)

Cranberry: All Wisconsin cranberry juice! Our sweetest wine yet, has a wonderful balance of tart and sweet. Perfect for sipping or
making a sangria for your celebrations!

(Available for the holiday season Nov thru Dec)
