Rieslings
2012 Whole Cluster Riesling
RIESLINGS
$15.00 / 750ml. bottle
Our Northern Michigan "kabinett" style seeks to frame pure, unadorned fruit within the crisp lines of cool-climate acidity. We separately fermented three different Riesling lots from our Bailiwick Vineyard in order to articulate flavors ranging from crisp apple to ripe peach. The balanced structure of this wine comes not from intrusive winemaking, but from the fine joinery of the blend.

2011 Riesling "Lot 49"
RIESLINGS
$21.00/750ml. bottle
The Lot 49 excludes no middles. It's neither simply dry nor obviously sweet, and avoids single interpretations altogether. What is certain is that this wine was grown on the steep west-facing slope of an Old Mission Peninsula drumlin. It began its existence in the cool confines of stainless steel, then came to term in a 1200 liter oak Stück.

2007 Botrytis Riesling
SOLD OUT
RIESLINGS
$25.00 / 500 ml. bottle
The cool wet October weather of the 2007 vintage was ideal for the Botrytis Cinerea fungus or “Noble Rot” to manifest on late-ripening Riesling clusters, causing the grapes to shrivel and concentrate in flavor. We laboriously hand sorted these raisined grapes, berry by berry, in order to make a sweet-style wine of uncommon intensity and richness. It shows beautiful honeyed flavors of ripe pineapple and apricot with a hint of vanilla and cedar in the finish from one month of aging in a traditional German oak oval.

2008 Riesling Ice Wine
RIESLINGS
$70.00 / 375 ml. bottle)
Ice Wine is a rare and extraordinary dessert-style wine abounding with luscious fruit flavors and sweet mouth-filling qualities. It was produced from ultra-ripe Riesling grapes purposefully left on the vine late into the season to naturally freeze. Once picked, the grapes were gently pressed under cold conditions to extract a miniscule amount of the unfrozen essence of the grape. After lengthy fermentation in small, stainless steel tanks, the resulting wine is an exquisite treat for the senses. Serve slightly chilled and allow it to warm in the glass to reveal its unique aromas and sweet nectar-like flavors.
