Blend of Riesling 50% , Gewürztraminer 40% and Pinot Gris 10% using grapes grown in the famous Blocks 6 & 5 on the southwest slope of Crain Hill Vineyard. Our brother Bert was a talented football player in the late‘70s and wore No. 65 on his jersey. We honor his memory with this wine.

The name Da-Good-Sh*t was inspired by Jerry Stutzman, our personal wine master. The style of wine is inspired from Austria in which a field blend of multiple grapes is co-fermented in the tank. This vintage has eight different grapes: La Crescent, Valvin Muscat, Muscat Ottonel, Pinot Noir, Gewurztraminer, Chardonnay, Rotgipfler, and Riesling. The copper tint comes from the Pinot Noir grapes adding a little bit of color. It is a dry wine that is meant to be drank either as a standalone or paired with a great meal.

Classic Gewurztraminer with intense notes of spice, rose petals, lychee, grapefruit, peach kernel and smoky bacon. Off-dry sweetness and creamy fruit flavors with better than normal acidity providing for a long finish. If you’re a member of the Gewurz cult, this one is built for you!

On the south end of the Crain Hill vineyard comes 50% of the Pinot Gris, and the other 50% comes from our good friend Greg’s vineyard up in Omena which creates a unique wine due to the different terroirs in which the grapes our grown. 

One of the sleepers on the menu, this Riesling has a nice balance between sweetness and acidity which is one of the most important things about creating an excellent wine. While there is sweetness up front, by the end of the palate that acidity shines through and cleans up the sweetness into a nice long finish.

The versatility of the Riesling grape is something special. While Riesling may get a bad reputation due to mass produced sweet Riesling’s from back in the 70s, 80s, 90s, we have taken it upon ourselves to show how diverse this grape can be. The Spatlese is made for those that enjoy sweeter wines as this has good balance the acids and sugar, but the sweetness continues throughout the palate into the finish. If someone wants a sweet wine, point them in this direction. 

The fruit for the Sauv Blanc mainly comes from our Timberlee vineyard just a couple miles south of the tasting room. 2021 was a textbook growing season, providing ripe fruit for a vibrant and crisp wine making it a popular choice for those upcoming warm summer days.
