Year Around Wines
Seyval Blanc
One of the best white wine grapes that can be grown in our climate, Seyval Blanc is the midwest’s equivalent of Sauvignon Blanc.
Our Seyval Blanc is a dry white wine with aromas of green apple and grapefruit. On the palate, it exhibits juicy acidity with flavors of green apple, lime and gooseberry. It has a surprisingly rounded mouthfeel and a smooth finish for a light-bodied dry white wine. This wine pairs perfectly with fish, oysters, poultry and creamy cheeses.
Chardonnay
The Chardonnay grapes in this wine were grown in upstate NY, where the cooler summers retain the acidity and flavors in the fruit. We fermented this fruit in Stainless Steel tanks at cooler temperatures (below 60F) to maintain it’s fruitiness. The result is a dry white wine that is very fruity with aromas of peach, pear, and pineapple. The body is medium and the finish is smooth. This wine pairs well with poultry.
Farmer's Turnpike White
Our most popular white wine, it is named after the county Highway that brings 99% of or guests to our winery. We strive to always make it from 100% Kansas Vignoles grape. Vignoles is the state white wine grape of KS.
This wine is highly aromatic with notes of peaches and pineapple. It is semi-sweet to taste, but the acidity balances the sweetness rather well. On the palate, peach and lemon are the pronounced flavors.
Valvin Muscat
A variety that was developed by Cornell University grape hybridization program, Valvin Muscat, like all other grapes of the Muscat family is highly aromatic. Lemon is the primary aroma and flavor of this one. Our cooler stainless steel fermentation techniques, along with the practice of complimenting the yeast strain with grape flavors resulted in a wine that is semi-sweet with taste of “lemons and cream.”
Windmill White (Currently Out of Stock)
This is our sweetest white wine with a 9 % R.S. (Residual sugar). However, the high acidity of the wine makes it well balanced and not syrupy. The flavor is melons and honey. This wine is reminiscent of the sweet Rieslings of Germany.
The current vintage is made from grape variety called Frontenac Gris.
Sunset Rosé
One of our three signature wines (along with Farmer’s Turnpike White and Farmer’s Turnpike Red), Sunset Rosé is a rosé wine made from Kansas grown Steuben grapes.
We strive to make this wine in the style of dry rosés of Provence, France, although our wine is off-dry and not completely dry. The off-dry nature of the wine (0.7% R.S.) balances the acidity of the wine really well and also provides a slightly more body than a dry rosé. The current vintage has aromas of perfume and cantaloupes and on the palate, has a really smooth finish.
Red-venture (Currently Out of Stock)
Our sweetest red, it is a fruit-bomb that is sweet, but not syrupy. Typically made from Chambourcin grapes, it is a medium to heavy body and perfect wine to pair with dark chocolate.
Hawk's Perch (Currently Out of Stock)
Named for the dead-tree-top spot where our resident Red-tailed Hawk can be seen perching on in the winter, the Hawk’s Perch is our driest red wine made from Marquette grapes. This wine is unoaked and exhibits aromas of tart red berries and caramel. On the palate it exudes tart cherries. Perfect wine to pair with pizza.
Farmer's Turnpike Red
One of our three signature house specialties, this is an off-dry red wine made from Chambourcin grapes (the state red wine grape of KS). We aim to make this a highly fruity wine that exudes red and black berry notes and flavors. It is unoaked with a slight hint of tannins. Pairs perfectly with baked ham.
Unwind
A sweeter hard cider. Bubbly, but not overly fizzy…and gluten-free.
Indulge (Currently Out of Stock)
A semi-sweet white with bubbles, this one is for those who prefer sweeter champagnes. Produced from Kansas grown Cayuga grapes, it boasts honey and citrus notes.
Dry Cider
Our dry hard cider is made from a blend of apple varieties, and fermented like wine and carbonated in a carbonation tank (like a beer). However, it is gluten-free due to the fact that our facility does not process any grains (unlike a brewery). This is always completely dry and fizzy.
Celebrate
Our dry white with bubbles. Perfect to toast any celebratory occasion. Made from KS grown Cayuga grapes, it has half the bubbles of traditional Champagne. The citrus notes make it a good choice for making mimosas as well.
Malbec
A dry red made from 2019 California Malbec grapes, aged in the cellar on American oak, this wine boasts plum and vanilla notes with smooth tannins.
Smokestack Red
A dry red blend made from 2020 Chambourcin and Norton grapes and aged on oak, this wine has smokey and earthy notes.
Lakeview Rosé (Currently Out of Stock)
A dry and bubbly rosé made primarily from Kansas grown Catawba grapes, it also has 8% Chambourcin and 2% Norton blended in for color. This rosé exhibits cherry, cranberry and grapefruit notes and is very smooth on the palate.
Anticipation (Currently Out of Stock)
A semi-sweet bubbly rosé made from Catawba grapes, this wine exudes strawberry and mint notes.
Merlot
A dry red produced from 2019 California Merlot grapes, this wine is akin to a dry port with 14% alcohol by volume. It boasts chocolate liqueur, cherry and coffee notes.
Catwalk
A sweet rosé produced from Steuben and Chambourcin grapes, this wine exudes rich floral notes and strawberry flavor.
