Arbor Day Farm Red Wines, $19/Bottle
Chambourcin—Attention to detail paid off with this wonderful red, semi-dry French American hybrid varietal wine. The leaves around each cluster were removed, letting the grapes bask in the sun, resulting in perfectly ripened fruit and thus an excellent wine. The fruity characteristics and beautiful color makes this a standout among other red wines. Best served at room temperature. Past bronze medal winner in the Mid-American Wine Competition.
De Chaunac—This French hybrid is a dry, red varietal wine and an example of Nebraska wine at its best. Once considered one of the seven noble grapes, this full-bodied wine has a wonderful bouquet and is a natural for the red wine connoisseur. Best served at room temperature.
Arbor Day Farm White Wines, $19/Bottle
LaCrosse—This grape is the result of one of the premier grape breeders in the country, Elmer Swenson. Elmer was a retired dairy farmer from Wisconsin who started breeding grapes in his 80s, and LaCrosse is one of his many developments. This semi-sweet white varietal wine has wonderful fruity overtones. Best served slightly chilled. Past silver medal winner in the Mid-American Wine Competition.
Seyval Blanc—a white French hybrid varietal, this crisp version has flavors and aromas of delicate grapefruit and citrus flavor and a certain minerality that some compare to white burgundies or Chablis.
Porter’s Pride—A medium-bodied white bursting with flavors of pineapple, pear and green apple. A blend of Vignoles, Seyval Blanc and Edelweiss. The name is a nod to former orchard owner Morton Porter and his 1935 Triple Crown Winner Omaha, who spent his retirement years on Arbor Day Farm.
Morton’s Reserve—This blend of Vignoles, LaCrosse, and Seyval Blanc grapes has resulted in a delightful fruity white wine. The flavors jump out at you when served chilled. This finely crafted wine is sure to become one of your favorites. Best served slightly chilled.
Arbor Day Farm’s Fruit Wines, $16/Bottle
Apple—This beautiful, sweet apple wine is fashioned from our own apple cider produced here at Arbor Day Farm. The special blend of apples used to produce the cider resulted in a wine that allows the apple characteristics to shine through. Seasonal availability.
