Red Varietal Wine
(100% single cold climate grape wines)
GHV Marquette
This wine is our first vintage made from the Marquette grape introduced by the University of Minnesota in 2006. The wine demonstrates the grape's heritage as a grandson of the noble Pinot Noir grape. A complex wine, with attractive ruby color, pronounced tannins, and desirable notes of cherry, berry, black pepper, and spice on both nose and palate. Serve at cool room temperature with red meats.
GHV Sabrevois
The sabrevois (sah-bray-vway) grape was named after the village near the Richeliu River in southern Quebec. Wines made from Sabrevois have a berry-like taste and aroma, and deep red color with hints of pepper, spice, and berry, and substantial tannin structure rarely found in cold climate grape wines. Serve with foods made with tomatoes. Our first 'estate" grown wine.
GHV Frontenac
GHV Frontenac’s deep garnet color complements its distinctive cherry aroma and inviting palate of blackberry, black currant, and plum. Serve at room temperature. Food pairing suggestions: prime rib with mushrooms, veal parmesan or other seasoned red meats.
GHV St. Croix
This dry red wine was made with the St. Croix grape, a variety developed by Elmer Swenson. A full-bodied red wine, its flavor and aroma hint at plums & black cherry. Sip it by itself or greatly expand the flavor by pairing it with a steak or wild game. Very limited addition for 2010. Serve at cool room temperature.
St. Urho Red
This semi-dry red wine is made from Valiant grapes. The grapes in this wine were grown in the driftless bluff lands of Minnesota. Serve at cool room temperature with red meats.
Bluff Country Red
Sweet red blend of fragrant and aromatic grapes giving distinctive fruitiness. Serve cooled.
