In English “sangria” translates into disregard of inhibitions, utter loss of inner monologue and, of course, waking up the next morning next to Brigitte, or was it Brandy? Anyway, that’s not the point. The point is, our take on traditional wine punch is the perfect balance between Seville oranges, gala apples, ripe cherries, and the sweetness of strawberries. So it’s OK to let yourself go, have a little fun, and hope that tattoo washes off.
Due to the popular demand for our sangria, we have started making larger batches, which means we needed to put it in bigger bottles than our other wines. It now comes in a 1.5L bottle, that’s double the wine for only 7 bucks more!

“Like cherry pie, this is our sweetest variety. Try it chilled before or after dinner, or with creamy (non-blue) cheeses and crackers. Try simmering it with pear slices or mix it into whipped cream icing. This wine tastes fruity for the first 6 months to 1 year (longer if kept cool) and is exquisite when aged 3-4 years.” Certified Kosher (OU).

A high-octane blend of classic tart Montmorency, a darker Ulster, and rich Hungarian Balaton cherries, resulting in a great cherry flavor with a hint of ginger spice. All fruit grown on the Kroupa family’s centennial farm on Traverse City’s Old Mission Peninsula.

Michigan cherry wine and cherry brandy blended together for a sinfully good dessert wine! Opulent and packed with black and red cherry flavors, this port-style wine calls for decadent chocolate!
This exceptional drink is crafted by fermenting our tart cherry juice to 8.5% ABV, then fortified with in-house distilled cherry brandy. The final product is a naturally sweet fortified wine that contains residual sugars from the cherries and a warm alcoholic sensation of 19% ABV, complemented by the tart cherries’ lively acidity.
Best served slightly chilled. Cheers!

Black Star Farms produces this beautifully fragrant, port-style dessert wine from estate-grown sweet black cherries, fortified with their own cherry brandy and sweetened with tart cherry juice. Then barrel aged for nine months in American oak.
Ripe black cherry fruit and mildly toasted oak complement the warmth of the brandy.
Pairs with:
Rich chocolate desserts! Or add to your chocolate bread pudding recipe or simply pour over ice cream. You’ll also love Sirius Cherry Dessert Wine with sharp cheeses such as bleu and Romano.
Winemaker Comments:
“Our distillation operation enables us to craft exceptional port-style wines that incorporate our local fruit. We consider this to be one of the best methods for preserving black cherries.”
