Savor our vineyard's flavors!
With God's riches we are able to share our wines with all of you. One of our greatest gifts is our family and friends who help us all year through;
from pruning and tending the vineyard in summer to harvesting and making the wine in fall. We are so grateful to everyone who has helped us along the way. We are most thankful to God for this opportunity.
We are so excited to show the wine drinkers of Wisconsin, that we CAN grow grapes in Wisconsin and we CAN make dry wines as well as sweet wines from locally grown grapes! Go out and explore some estate wines from our vineyard or some of our friend's vineyards!
We just finished bottling our 2021 vintage of Petite Pearl and will soon be bottling 2022 La Crescent, Sabrevois Rosé, and our very first vintage of Itasca.
For those of you looking for a semi-dry or semi-sweet wine, you will want to give these wines a try.
4 Christi's Vineyard LLC is located on the Wisconsin Ledge AVA, in Newton, WI just south of Manitowoc. In 2014 we started out as commercial grape growers, eventually planting over 3000 vines.
After a few years of hard work, along with the passion to produce wine from locally grown grapes, we opened a winery in 2020 using only grapes from our two vineyards.
4 Christi's Vineyard, along with help from our family and friends, has now become a producer of fine estate wines, and we are proud to share our passion with you! We do not have a tasting room yet, but feel free to give us a call.
Please try our wine, and taste our dream!
We only have estate wines, so every bottle of wine was 'grown' in our vineyard. With the work of family and friends, we tend to the grapevines all year, harvest in late fall and make our wines right here in our winery.
These are the cold hardy hybrid grape varietals that we have planted and the wines we make from them will
have the same varietal names.
Being in the Wisconsin Ledge AVA, we have very unique terroir for our grapevines. The Wisconsin Ledge AVA is an American Viticultural Area in Northeast Wisconsin which is alongside the Niagara Escarpment. The Federal Government has deemed this Wisconsin Ledge as a prime grape growing region.
Our soil has good drainage, but it still has some clay further down, so we have no need for irrigation. We are approximately one mile from Lake Michigan, so we are blessed with the extra moisture in the air and the extra protection we get from Lake Michigan, especially in late spring.
Our growing season is quite short, but the cold hardy hybrid grapes we grow are made for this climate. Our wines are naturally high in acid due to the soil and climate of our vineyard in the Wisconsin Ledge AVA.
The Marquette grape is a grandson to the Pinot noir grape. It is a bit finicky similar to Pinot noir. We used French oak to add a more complete flavor profile to this delicious dry red wine.
We used this grape three different ways. We decided to lightly press some of the Petite Pearl grapes and make a Rosé wine. We made this one a dry Rosé, great with fresh fruits and vinaigrette salad dressings.
This wine was made using our La Crescent grapes. This grape varietal makes an extremely aromatic and very flavorful semi-dry white wine. You will not want to miss trying this one.
Petite pearl grapes are small red wine grapes that have a powerful color and intense flavors for a cold-hardy hybrid grape. This grape lends itself to making a very flavorful dry red wine.
This is our first vintage with this particular grape, which we made into a semi-sweet Rosé using 100% Sabrevois grapes.
This wine was made using French oak, and remained on the lees for a bit of extra time which lends to some more complex flavors.
This is our first vintage with this particular grape, which we made into a semi-sweet white wine using 100% Itasca grapes.
This 2021 vintage of Petite Pearl, I decided to take out a barrel of wine and I allowed a little sweetness to prevail.
