MEET OUR LINE UP FOR 2019
* Silver Award Winner of the Mid-American Wine Competition! * Rosé style wine where the skins were allowed to stay in touch with the wine just long enough to bring on its pink. Hints of strawberry and grapefruit. Perfect for brunch or lunch.
100% Traminette grape from the Fort Madison area. Bright, floral and delicate, you will want to spend the day with this one. Serve slightly chilled.
100% Corot Noir grape from the Fort Madison area. A big, fruit forward red wine aged on french oak,and pairs nicely with hearty, rich dishes.
A light red blend of Frontenac Gris and Marquette, with hints of a more complex wine, this wine tantalizes the taste buds as you try to find all the nuances in each varietal. The perfect wine to contrast salty cheeses and charcuteries.
Iowa Brut Sparkling Pink Wine. Made using the traditional French Methode Champenoise, this wine naturally fermented in the bottle. Serve well-chilled.
A port-like wine, made from a collection of grapes from the south Walker Homestead vineyard, aged on vanilla and mocha toasted oak and sweeten with honey from bees raised on our farm. This is a great to sip, sitting by a fire, following a long day out on the field.
100% La Crescent Brut Sparkling White Wine. Made using the traditional French Methode Champenoise, this wine naturally fermented in the bottle. Serve well-chilled.
