Ice Wine, revealed
Ice wine is one of the most prized but mysterious wines made in our unique Wisconsin viticulture climate. We all know that ice wine is rare and more expensive than most wines but why is this? How is it made? And why is it called Ice Wine? First, ice wine is made from frozen grapes. More specifically, grapes left hanging on the vine until they are naturally froze during winter (legally, only naturally frozen grapes can be called ice wine). Ice Wine Harvest 2015, a quick pose, then get back to harvest! Grapes need to get very cold to freeze,...

Wow, where has the summer gone? As we approach Labor Day Weekend here at Staller Estate Winery we ask the same question. My answer is “Time flies when you are having fun”.
Easter Dusting

They hid a total of 72 eggs in the tasting, sun room and gazebo, all these eggs were hid indoors. Each plastic egg was filled with one chocolate and a special prize; 10% off, 20% off, free glass of wine, free wine flights, wine picnic platters, and private wine tastings.

Holiday Spice Wine
Sunday November 10th we hosted another Wine & Dine pairing dinner at Staller Estate Winery. This Wine Dinner had a Thanksgiving theme to begin to give our quests ideas for the coming gatherings of family and friends.
Harvest Season cont.
The harvest season is slowly beginning to slow down. So far this year we have processed more than 30,000 pounds of grapes and we still have more yet to do. This year many of our red grapes ripened at the same time which made it a little hectic scheduling the grape crusher destemmer and the press.
Harvest Season
It has been about three weeks since we have had a chance to add to this blog 🙁 However there is a 🙂 that will follow as we are in the middle of harvest and happy to do it. As I write this blog tonight, looking down at my purple hands, I am very excited about the next vintage. This year was a mixed bag of weather, but the ripening season has been very good and we are harvesting a good vintage. We are done with our La Crescent and are very excited how it has turned out, during...
The Next Vintage cont.
We are fast approaching the end of another great summer. At Staller Estate Winery, this is a very exciting time as we will begin to harvest the hard work that we have put into the vineyard all summer. It is a time that we can look back and appreciate the blood, sweat and tears that tending the vineyard requires.
