We’re thrilled to share some big news from the world of wine competitions: our beloved Prairie Fumé has just been awarded a Double Gold Medal at the 2025 Finger Lakes International Wine & Spirits Competition.
Our Blackberry Brandy has earned a new chapter in that story, winning Gold at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition — one of the most respected and influential spirits competitions in the world.
A new chapter begins as President and Winemaker Philippe Coquard names his daughter, Céline Coquard Lenerz, as the next Head Winemaker, passing on this role to a visionary rooted in the family legacy.
What a remarkable year we’ve had! Despite the challenges from Mother Nature, our team at Wollersheim produced high-quality grapes, with yields reaching 4 to 7 tons per acre and sugar levels at 22-23%, suggesting strong potential for the 2024 vintage.
We have some exciting releases and events coming up at Wollersheim, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

As we reflect on the challenges and triumphs of the 2023 harvest season, it’s clear that “normal” is a concept we must redefine continually. We’ve witnessed extremes, from the heavy rains of 2017 and 2018 to the drought that defined this past year.

Ruby Nouveau 2022 is now available!
Our Ruby Nouveau is Wisconsin’s version of a Beaujolais Nouveau, traditionally released in France on the third Thursday each November. Ruby Nouveau is made from our estate-grown Maréchal Foch grapes and Winemaker Philippe follows the traditional methods of whole berry fermentation of his home region.
Made from the highly acclaimed cold climate American hybrid varietal St. Pepin, from which the wine is named, the estate-grown dry white wine has notes of minerals, chalky soil, and stone fruits. Unlike many white wines, St. Pepin is aged for 6 months in French Oak barrels within our historic limestone cellars.
A group of more than 30 expert judges evaluated over 400 spirits from 37 states and Washington, D.C. The judging panel awarded only 15 Gold medals, along with 104 Silver and 159 Bronze medals.
Now available, Wollersheim Ice Wine 2021 Vintage!
Our “Nectar of the Vines” is made from our St Pepin grapes frozen on the vines, capturing the sweet fall essences and concentrated grape flavors.
Made from a blend of premium red grapes, Scarlet Fumé is characterized by the intense aromas of luscious cherries and sun-splashed violets. The palate is bright and balanced with a smooth finish and an eye-pleasing ruby hue color.
