Whitetail Valley Cellars Wines
Whitetail Valley Apfel Wein
Apple wine from our Meadow Orchard is our signature product at Whitetail Valley Cellars. Made from blends or single varieties of our sustainably grown apples.
Inaugural Apfel Wein Limited Edition
A limited edition apfel wein that is from the first batch of wine made in our new kelterei. It is the beginning of a long line of wines to come. Only a few bottles are left and when it is gone it is gone!
Whitetail Valley Apfel Wein - Our Signature Wine
Our apple wine is made from a blend of modern and vintage apple varieties. We grow over 60 varieties of apples here in the valley. Each autumn we choose and blend what nature provides to create our apple wine. Each Iowa summer is different, each year you can taste that Iowa summer in every glass.™ Our signature wine at Whitetail Valley Cellars.
Whitetail Valley Cellars Fruit Wines
A specialty of Whitetail Valley Cellars is our combination fruit wines. Fermenting our apples and an array of other fruit juices together produces a truly unique taste experience.
Apple Raspberry Wine - Frühlings Wiese – “Spring Meadow”
When the countryside is in bloom a walk in a spring meadow lifts the spirit. No matter the season, Frühlings Wiese lifts the spirit with a touch of sweet raspberry and rich apple flavor. Spring Meadow is chocolate’s best friend!
Apple Strawberry Wine - Frühlings Blüemli - Spring Blossoms
Spring Blossoms combines our zesty apples with sweet spring strawberries for a real country treat. Every farm kid knows the best strawberries are eaten fresh in the patch and never make it to the house. It’s a great way to celebrate the wild and mild days of an Iowa spring.
Apple Peach wine -
A refreshing combination of flavors, this wine combines some of our sweeter apples with just a bit of juice from fresh peaches. It's not juice from tasteless store bought peaches. We grow those little native Iowa peaches that ripen in late summer. They are small but pack a bright fresh peach taste. Good enough to have with dessert. Good enough to have FOR dessert!
Apple Blackberry Wine - Sommer Lied - Sommer Song
Sommer Song sings a softer melody than our blackberry wine. Made for those who love blackberry flavor but want something a little less intense. Summer Song sings blue skies, carefree picnics,
sparklers, fireflies and warm Iowa nights so still you can the corn growing!
Apple Cranberry Wine - Weinachts Wein - Christmas Holiday Wine -
Made from our apple varieties with a lot of apple flavor and the addition of 10% cranberry juice. Less bold flavored than our Cranberry wine, Wiehnachts Wein is perfect for the Holidays. It pairs well with turkey ham and other holiday foods. If you haven’t been very good, better leave some out for "Samichlaus" and "Schmutzli" on Dec. 6th.
Ideas for the Future:
Winterlied – “Winter Song” - Apple Elderberry Wine
We developed our Song series wines because like a great song, these fruit combinations are all about the harmony. Elderberry is an historical fruit taste for landwein and even better paired with apples.
Wintersnacht – “Winter’s Night” - Apple Aronia Wine
Wintersnacht is made from old fashioned apple varieties that stand up to the warmth and spices of winter Glühwein. (Spiced wine. We have a great recipe!). Whether warm and spiced or chilled the sweet-tart taste of these fruit flavors can warm up even the coldest Iowa winter’s night.
Abend Gluhen – “Evening Glow” - Apple and Kornel Cherry Wine
Evening Glow blends our zesty apples and kornel cherries a unique fruit for most wine lovers. Cornelian Cherries, called kornels in Europe, are not actually cherries. We grow kornels here at Whitetail Valley. Evening Glow is a unique Iowa wine.
Freulingsleid – “Spring Song” -Apple Strawberry Rhubarb Wine
We developed our Song series wines because like a great song, these fruit combinations are all about the harmony. Rich apples sing bass and our homegrown tart rhubarb adds the melody. The high notes are provided by sweet strawberries. Even in a long Iowa winter, Spring Song orchestrates three of the best spring flavors into a wine that sings of spring.
