Vineyards & Grapes

Vines

The 27 acres of vineyards on our estate are part of the Lake Wisconsin Viticultural Area Appellation.

Grapes

In our vineyards we grow French American and American hybrid grapes. We grow three varieties of reds: Maréchal Foch, Léon Millot, and Marquette. We also grow three varieties of whites: St. Pepin, LaCrosse, and Brianna.

Estate Wines

We make eight wines from the grapes grown in our vineyards:

  • Young, flat fields give us young, light-bodied wines: Prairie Blush, Eagle White, Prairie Sunburst, St. Pepin and Ice Wine
  • Medium-aged vines in medium-sloped fields create medium-bodied wines: Ruby Nouveau and Domaine du Sac
  • The oldest, steepest field gives us our richest, fullest-bodied wine: Domaine Reserve

    Varietal Wines

    We work with vineyards in New York and Washington States to custom-grow additional varietals: Riesling, Pinot Noir, Seyval Blanc, Malbec, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Muscat, and with a vineyard in California for Carignan.
