▪️Frosted Root White: The Frosted Root White is a semi-sweet blend of Brianna and La Crescent grapes. Smelling a glass of this golden wine is like plunging headfirst into a garden full of flowers – gardenia, jasmine, and apple blossom just for starters. Ripe tropical flavors of mango and pineapple, along with green melon, are almost overtaken by the wine’s deep and heady floral perfume. We like to enjoy it well-chilled and all by itself, or adding a splash of sparkling water and fresh fruit juices makes a wonderful warm weather sangria.

▪️River Day Rosé: Our dry rosé offering, River Day is a beautiful pale
pink blend with aromas and flavors of gardenia, strawberry, watermelon and white cherry. Perfect for summertime picnics or days spent out on the water. Light and refreshing!
