Cherry Wine
Made from one of northern Michigan's most abundant fruits, we produce cherry wine in a ripe, fruity, semi-dry blush style. Made from a combination of cherry varieties that are both estate-grown and harvested from neighboring orchards, this wine is enjoyable as an aperitif, a luncheon wine, or with fresh seasonal fruits.

Aging Potential:
Most fruit wines are produced to be consumed young and show best within their first two years following production. With proper care and handling this wine, like any of our fruit wines, will drink well for five years or more.
Thoughts for Food:
This is a versatile wine. This cherry wine has great acidity to pair with poultry or pork dishes and can show its adaptability with ethnic cuisine like Thai or Szechwan.
This wine is also wonderful as a mulled wine. Try this recipe.

Wine Makers Comments::
A nice blend of sweet and tart cherry flavors complimented by a subtle spicy finish. This is a wine with many uses. Most people who enjoy off-dry style fruit wines drink it as an aperitif or as an alternative to grape-based semi-dry wines.
