frozen and pressed prior to thawing. The resulting juice
contains highly concentrated sugars and intense flavors.
Cold vinified to retain this intense flavor, the wine is finished
very sweet to balance the concentrated, intense flavors.
Icewein - with its intense aroma is best enjoyed while the berry
flavors of the fruit are at their peak, although it will improve
with some additional cellaring. (375ml bottle).

Each year, we leave a select percentage of our Vignole and Vidal
grapes hanging on the vine in the hope of an early freeze. In those
years, historically only 2-3 times a decade, we harvest the frozen
grapes and press them before they thaw. The resulting juice
contains highly concentrated sugars and intense flavors.
Cold vinified to retain this intense flavor, the wine is finished
very sweet to balance the concentrated, intense flavors.
Icewein - with its intense aroma is best enjoyed while the berry

as five different vineyards within the central Kansas area.
the wines are individually selected for full body and rich aroma,
then blended to produce a port which is excellent as an after
dinner cocktail or which can be served with chocolate or nutty
desserts. 375 ml |

We
have found that an excellent port style wine can be made from
cherries. We let the wine finish just a little sweeter than
the very cherry it is crafted from and fortify it to around 18% alcohol. The
resultant wine is rich in cherry flavor and has that wonderful
tummy warming feel which only a port can provide.

We
use as much locally grown fruit as we can get in this wine.
It is just bursting with raspberry flavor. The wine is
sweet, but has the tartness present in the fruit, giving it a real
zing! Those persons who like raspberries are sure to love
this wine. It could be used as a cooking wine for special
sauces or as a base for desserts.

Anticipation
is our first sparkling wine. We use several of our still
wines as the cuvee for these Champagne-style sparkling
wines. Two separate styles of these sparklers are produced
at Smoky Hill. The first is a sweet variety similar to, but
slightly drier than an Asti Spumante. The second style is a
very dry brut style Champagne similar to that produced in the
Champagne region of France. We think you will find both to
be very good wines for those special occasions calling for a
sparkling wine.

Specialty Fruit Wines |
| This series of wines was developed from an observation that
many wines made from either grapes or other fruits could be
improved by combining the fruits. Some fruits such as
strawberries are mild and delicate while other fruits such as
cherries tend to be much more aggressive. We have selected
three of the grapes grown here at Smoky Hill and combined each
with another fruit which we believe compliments the grape and
produces an outstanding wine. The wines are finished sweet
to preserve the flavor of the fruit. They can all be enjoyed
by themselves or make excellent dessert wines.

Applicious
|
|
|
|
 |
Crafted with the memory of an autumn
day in a Kansas orchard, Applicious is blended from quality grape
wine and crisp apple wine. Serve it over ice, if you wish, to
release the fresh, sweet and juicy flavor of the fruit. Savor
the sweetness of crisp, succulent apples and imagine hearing the
crisp rustle of autumn leaves as the long hot days of summer give
way to shorter days and cooler nights. This full-bodied sweet
wine is perfect to sip from a porch swing on a summer evening or as
a dessert wine anytime. |

| Cherry
Ventura
Sold out! |
|
|
|
|
This
wine is made from a combination of pie cherries and a Canadian
grape named Ventura. The smooth nature of Ventura combines
well with the tartness of the cherries to make a sweet, fruity
wine which is nice as an aperitif or can be served with lighter
foods. It has a nice balance of acidity and sweetness which
permits the fruit to develop to its maximum.

wine. We use high quality blackberries to blend with the
Norton, producing a sweet wine rich in the flavors of both
fruits. It has a soft velvety texture which makes it a nice
wine to sip either before or after dinner. it pairs nicely
with zesty or sweeter foods and also stands well by itself.
