Schatzi
Schatzi, meaning “darling” in German, is a sparkling wine fermented from LaCrescent and Prairie Star grapes. Characteristics that distinguish this sparkler are natural carbonation, the champenois method, giving elegant body, subtle fruits of apple and pear with a crisp acidity. Serve chilled with your Schatzi.

Freizeit
Freizeit means “free time”. This wine is made with Prairie Star which is a full bodied grape that often does not present an overabundance of fruity tones. To bring complexity to the table, it was put through malo-lactic fermentation, and barrel aged. As this is dry, fairly neutral, and has a nice body, it makes for an excellent wine to have with a meal… or whenever you have a little “free time”. Serve chilled. (Bronze Medal 2010 & 2011, Cold Climate Wine Competition) Drink within 1-3 years.

Drága
Drága, translating roughly to “precious” in Hungarian is our fullest bodied dry red. This wine is made with Marquette.

Neuhaus
Neuhaus is the name of the town that our ancestors Franz and Ana came from in Austria. Made primarily with Marechal Foch and a little Frontenac, this is a light bodied dry red matured in American oak. It is a decent wine to have with beef, but shines even better with smoked meats or a good Austrian Schnitzel! Do not chill. Drink within 1-3 years.

Nordsüss
Translating to “Northern Sweet” in German, this wine is our sweetest red. It is made with Valiant, King of the North, and Bluebell. All three of these are Labrusca grapes, so do not expect oak or tannin out of this wine, but instead foxy fruit forward tones. This is the quintessential “American grape juice” kind of taste that will probably remind you of the juice you had growing up. Serve chilled. Drink within 1-2 years.

Schnicklefritz
The Millner family has a long tradition of being slightly mischievous. For those looking for a non-traditional white, we put forward Schnickelfritz. Schnickelfritz translates from the German language roughly as rascal, and this wine surely lives up to its name. It is made from Minnesota Brianna grapes and was finished semi-sweet with a light body and no oak. It was cold fermented and because it’s a Labrusca wine, a unique foxy flavor arises. Enjoy chilled and with mischievous company.

Naplemente
Meaning “Sunset” in Hungarian, this seems to be a fitting name for our rosè. This is a varietal Frontenac Gris wine with a little skin extraction. Apricot and berry tones seem to be the most predominant flavors. This is a sweet fruit forward rosè with crisp acidity. We recommend having this wine with enjoyable company while watching a sunset. Serve chilled. Drink within 1-3 years.

Salier
Salier is the name of the ship in which Anastasia Müllner and family made their voyage from Europe to the New World on, thus starting the Millner family tree in America. This wine is is made primarily with free run Frontenac Gris. It was fermented cold to retain its fruitiness. Apricots are the dominant flavor with hints of pear, melon, grapefruit and berry in the background keeping you enticed. This wine is finished semi-sweet. Just like the ship, this wine will surely take you on a journey. We recommend serving this cold with chicken and pasta dishes. (1.7% RS) Serve chilled. Drink within 1-2 years.
