This full bodied wine boasts a deep, dark ruby color with an intense burst of wild blackberries and cherry, with notes of leather, wild mushroom, vanilla, and mocha. It has soft tannins and enough acidity to cut through the ripe/dried fruit and rich savory elements.

Balanced acidity combined with a delicate nose, fresh crisp taste of green apple, grapefruit, and cantaloupe creates a pleasant mouth feel with a lingering citrus aftertaste.

An elegant and pleasant sparkling wine with a golden straw color, delicate nose, and fresh, crisp taste of green apple. Its slightly sweet nature is balanced by moderate acidity and light bubbles.

A sweet desert wine. Lavender, cherry, cranberry, and blueberry present on the nose. Acidity is notable on the nose, along with floral sweetness from the honey. Warming spices on the palate, reminiscent of mulled wine. Not cloying, but a good balance between the acidity of the fruit and the sweetness of the honey. Dark fruit are present throughout the palate. Some bitter tannin notes as well, but they are balanced by the sweetness. Aftertaste is mild, slightly tart with honey notable.

Primary aroma of apple, with undertones of citrus fruits, and vanilla. Dry with good balance of acidity and tannicity on the palate. Primary apple flavor, and secondary citrus fruit flavors with a slight touch of oak and vanilla. Strong carbonation on the palate combines for a pleasant and delightful drink.

Primary aroma of apple, with undertones of floral honey and cinnamon. Moderately sweet with acid and tannin from apples. Very soft palate tannins and excellently clean wild fermentation. Some other interesting esters such as vanilla and mulling spices are noticeable from the wild yeast on the palate. Finish is smooth and long lasting.

A sweet and tart wine, the nose carries notes of citrus and fresh raspberries. This wine has quite the zing but is well balanced by sweetness. There are soft tannins on the palate and some cheek-puckering results from a mix of the tannins and the grape acidity. Honey is present throughout and provides a counter-melody to the strong flavors on the grapes used in production.
