Started in 2006 with 3 acres planted to Seyval Blanc, Traminette, and Noiret.  Currently a commercial grower of quality wine grapes to supply wineries of Kansas the product to create fine wines.  Three additional acres to be planted continuing with our current varieties.

 

Seyval Blanc - A yellow-white variety with large, compact clusters of medium berries, winter hardiness is medium, ripens with Concord. An excellent white wine variety.

Traminette
- Another hybrid whose main parent is the French/German grape Gewurztraminer. This is an excellent grape that makes several styles of rich, spicy white wine, from dry to late harvest sweet.

Noiret - Named in July 2006 and a Chancelor/Steuben cross. Produces an excellent full-bodied , richly colored red wine with a distinct green and black pepper character and moderate tannin content. The wines also have notes of raspberry, blackberry and mint aroma. The excellent tannin structure and absence of hybrid aromas sets this variety apart from other red hybrids.
