Winery Review: A unique and refreshingly sweet dessert style wine made from American native grape varieties. Firm acidity balances the sweetness, producing a crisp finish with aromas of freshly picked grapes. Made with Niagara grapes and blended with White Muscadine, Traminette and Vidal Blanc. Pour over fresh berries and sponge cake or blend with vanilla ice cream and fruit for a creamy dessert smoothie. 

My Review: This wine was awful! I have found really early on that I am a fan off full bodied, acidic wines that have a nice tart finish. Let me just tell you right now, if you are a fan of sweet wine this will be for you because WOW! It has a very sweet apple flavor. To me it tasted like a slightly more bitter sparkling apple juice. Overall, very sweet and not a wine I will be purchasing again.
