FEATURED
Late Harvest Riesling
2022 OLD MISSION PENINSULA
This standout Late Harvest Riesling offers bright fruit and crisp citrus, balanced by a naturally sweet finish. Honey and vanilla aromas lead to a soft, creamy palate with tropical and stone fruit. Pair its refreshing notes with pineapple upside-down cake or banana cream pie, or contrast with spicy shrimp curry or lemon-butter salmon.
FEATURED
Gamay Noir Reserve
2017 OLD MISSION PENINSULA
Traditionally called Gamay Noir à Jus Blanc, Gamay Noir thrives in Northern Michigan’s climate, yielding a light-bodied, aromatic red wine with notes of tart cherry, red plum, and black pepper. Aged 36 months in barrel, it’s lighter than most reds, pairing well with cheese and bread, grilled salmon, roasted duck, or wild mushroom pizza.
FEATURED
Vin Gris Rosé
2023 OLD MISSION PENINSULA
It may look “pretty in pink,” but this polished wine is made from gently pressed Pinot Noir grapes. Lightly sweet and medium-bodied, it offers bright tart cherry, crisp melon, and subtle vanilla with a lasting finish. Its mild flavor pairs well with tricky dishes like roasted vegetables and tomato-based pastas—and it’s sure to command a room.
FEATURED
GTS Chardonnay
This unoaked Chardonnay, also known as “naked” Chardonnay, is a light-bodied wine with a crisp, clean finish and a refreshing taste. With floral, fruity, or crisp characteristics, look for notes of green apple, lemon, and pineapple. This unoaked Chardonnay has a minerally, dryer taste than oaked Chardonnay, and is closer in style to Sauvignon Blanc.
FEATURED
Cherry Wine
This tasty Michigan cherry wine is made in a sweeter style and is produced from a variety of tart cherries grown in nearby orchards. We cool fermented this wine in stainless steel tanks to capture the delicate fruit qualities, ripe flavors, and beautiful cherry red wine color. Enjoy with barbecued foods, picnic fare, or cheese and fruit. Serve slightly chilled to bring out the best flavor.
