Our Wines

Red Wines

Corot Noir: Our take on a nouveau wine. This Illinois grape is fruity and fresh. Light-bodied, ruby red and slightly oaked. Super easy to drink. Excellent room temperature or slightly chilled.

St. Croix - Misty Hill Winery: Our friends at Misty Hill have created this soft dry, oaky red wine with prominent overtones of spice and cherry. Great with marinated pork and beef.

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.

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.

Concord: Your favorite sweet red wine that reminds you of grape jelly on your peanut butter sammies...

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.

Traminette: Our dry version of Traminette has amazing floral notes. Crisp and light and perfect on it's own.

Riesling: Classic off-dry Riesling is clean and crisp with a light sweetness that pairs well with seafood and spicy dishes.

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.

Ladot Noir Rosé: This vintage is a limited edition for Wine Club Members only. The light salmon color was achieved with a whole cluster press. Bone-dry and 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.
