Pie Cherry Wine

This wine is produced from the fruit of Northstar, Montmorency and other local pie cherry trees so old that no one knows the lineage of the tree! It has a surprising cherry / almond aroma and a good acid content. This fruit displays it's characteristics and identity well after fermentation when served at any sweetness. A drier wine reminds one of the natural tartness of the fruit (if you love them straight from the tree!).

This fruit is commonly served sweetened in pies and desserts, so if that is your preference you will best enjoy a semi-sweet or sweet condition. We can not recommended a sweetness for this superb wine. We love them all! Perhaps some of each sweetness and you decide! Our serving recommendation would vary with the sweetness you select. Perhaps a dry aperitif? Semi-dry with a salad or shellfish? Semi-sweet with a more robust meal or sweet for an after dinner dessert!

Pie Cherries make one of the best dessert wines we have ever enjoyed! With a lower acid content, and a natural mellow sweet finish, the fruit retains it's characteristics and identity best after fermentation, when the sweetness of the wine mimics the sweetness of the fruit. The aroma is unmistakable and distinctively cherry!

Our recommended sweetness for this wine is the semi-dry or sweeter! It is wonderful fully sweet as well, if that is your preference.

We recommend serving with beef, pork, lamb, poultry, wild game or as an after dinner dessert wine! It is particularly good with ham and turkey.
