Big and Bold describes the attitude of this Old Vine Zinfandel. Hand picked from vines that are nearly as old as my grandfather, Salukiz exhibits jammy red fruits, cocoa and tobacco. The rich tannins & smooth texture displays the unique styles that are unique to Old World style Zins.

Our Savvy Saluki Sauvignon Blanc offers vibrant tones of tropical pineapple, lemon zest and a tart crisp finish making this wine patio perfect. We select these grapes from quality vineyards ensuring premium artisanal wines handcrafted right here in Southern Illinois.

Our Chardonel is fermented in stainless steel tanks before left to age in neutral Chardonnay oak barrels. By using neutral barrels, we are able to preserve the crisp apple and citrus notes of the fruit while keeping a softer, lightly oaked finish for a well balanced, medium bodied wine.

Bright, clean and full of fruity aromas, this wine is kept dry. Aging in stainless steel amplifies the crispness of the grapefruit and minerality. The steely tartness makes this wine a perfect pair for fish and other seafood entrees. *Try with grilled shrimp and a mango chutney salsa

The sweetest version of the Chambourcin grape. Hints of luscious black cherry and dark plum with a smooth, sweet finish. We serve this chilled to cool off on a hot Southern Illinois day. Try this with dry rubbed BBQ Ribs, grilled summer vegetable and creamy desserts

Rosso Gustoso
This “Tasty Red” starts off sweet with hints of blackberry and cherry but finishes dry with just a touch of oak. This slightly sweet wine is very versatile and can be enjoyed in the chilly winter months at room temperature but it really delivers when it has been chilled. We like to pair this wine in the summertime with a savory beef and onion empanada or a refreshing watermelon feta salad.

This Old World-style pink wine is made from our Chambourcin grapes. We press the juice immediately after harvest, minimizing skin contact to ensure the light, pink color. The acid level stays high to give it that crispness of a white wine and we ferment it dry allowing it to maintain some complexities of a dry red wine while keeping the fruit forward flavors of strawberry and watermelon. Pairs well goat cheese and figs or a strawberry rhubarb pie.
