A MICRO-WINERY SERVING SOUTHWESTERN MICHIGAN AND NORTHWEST INDIANA
|
We try to keep the following wines in stock at the winery at all times.
Many are available for tasting and we are working on making the rest
available for tasting as well. However, don't over look the Special
Order wines. We can usually have these wines at the winery in one or
two weeks.
CHARDONNAY/SEMILLON Structure, complexity, depth, body and
character are all present in this blend. A good balance of fruit and oak
finish off this dry, medium-bodied wine.
GEWÜRZTRAMINER Exotic and spicy this off-dry white wine is a
favorite. Flavors of lychee, rose and grapefruit distinguish this wine
from most. Try it with spicy foods or roasted turkey.
JOHANNISBERG RIESLING Taste the citrus, apple and sweet
spice in this crisp, refreshing, dry white wine. Excellent with pork and
seafood. Note the floral bouquet in this light-medium bodied wine.
LUNA BIANCA This off-dry wine is a blend unique to Winexpert. It
has a rich, buttery bouquet with flavors of tropical fruit, vanilla and oak.
This wine has the fullest body of all our white wines. With its smooth,
round mouth-feel it is wonderful with foods that have rich cream sauces.
PIESPORTER STYLE If you are looking for a wine that is great for
sipping or to accompany a sandwich than try a Piesporter. Soft and
easy drinking with aromas of elder flowers, apple, pear and honey.
SAUVIGNON BLANC This wine's grassy, herbaceous character
and crisp, refreshing acidity makes it a wonderful choice when serving
vegetarian dishes. This dry, medium-bodied wine is also good with
asparagus, goat cheese and as a sipping wine.
VIOGNIER Peaches, apricots and spring blossoms make this wine
hard to resist. Originally grown in France's Rhone Valley, the Viognier
grape is one of the hardest to grow, but it is well worth the effort.
Perfect when you want a change of taste from a Chardonnay but still
want to enjoy Chardonnay's richness. Great with fish and seafood.
Don't forget we can help you customize your wine. We want
to help you create your perfect wine.

Body
Refers to how light or heavy a
wine feels in the mouth. Full
body wines are often
accompanied by complex and
lasting flavors. Light body
wines are thin or watery, but
not necessarily inferior wines.
Body simply refers to a wines
overall nature.
Tannin
Structural components in wine
that effects color and, ageing
potential. Can cause a drying
sensation in the mouth, similar
to that of a green banana.
Tannins are associated with
red wines and are created
when the yeast interacts with
the grape skins. Overly tannic
wine will mellow with age.
Complex
Refers to wine having many
different flavors and facets.
Finish
Refers to how long the flavors
of a wine lasts in the mouth
after drinking.
Dry
Refers to wine in which all of
the available sugar has been
fermented into alcohol. Off-dry
refers to a wine that has a hint
of sweetness.
Crisp
A wine that is high in acidity
while still maintaining
balanced flavors. These wines
are usually quite refreshing on
the palate.
Balanced
A balanced wine is one in
which no one flavor stands out
too much.
Oak
Wine can have oak add during
fermentation or it can be aged
in oak. Oak being used can
be American, French,
Hungarian, toasted or
un-toasted. Most red and
some white wines come into
contact with oak. This contact
will develop flavors of spice,
vanilla and wood in the wine
as well as tannins.
