Introduction to the Ledge Blanc project coming up at the end of the hour! 🥂#ledgeblanc #wisconsinledgeava #wisconsinwine #drinklocal
Our first Ledge Blanc Industry Night was a blast! What a great night connecting with so many local businesses.
An appellation wine is more than what happens in the vineyard and winery. It is built with the community that sells, pours, and drinks it. We met some incredible people, shared wine, cheese, and stories, and then brought it all together with a killer presentation by Allan about why we're doing this. It was a great experience tasting Ledge Blancs from multiple producers side by side- every wine shows off its own unique expression while staying true to the style. The 2025 vintage is shaping up to be a good one and we can't wait to share these wines with you.
Cheers, everyone 🥂❤️

Every year, Ledge Blanc wines must pass a third-party blind review before they are allowed to carry the name.
It’s a unique process designed to elevate both style and quality, ensuring that every bottle labeled Ledge Blanc meets the standards we’ve set for this wine.
Pictured here are some of the blind sample bottles used in the judging.
We’re excited to share that six 2025 vintage Ledge Blanc wines are on the way soon.
Stay tuned.

Ledge Blanc works here because the climate allows it to.
Moderated summers slow ripening. Cool nights protect aromatics. A deep winter gives the vines the rest and protection they need to start fresh each year.
The result is clarity, lift, and energy in the glass.
Crisp. Aromatic. Refreshing.
A style shaped by patience and place.

Crisp. Aromatic. Refreshing.
The Wisconsin Ledge AVA runs along the western shoreline of Lake Michigan, following the exposed limestone of the Niagara Escarpment.
This northern, cool-climate landscape was shaped by glaciers and moderated by the lake, creating long, steady growing seasons and naturally bright fruit.
Ledge Blanc is a wine style made because of this place and the grapes that thrive here.

Had the chance to present at the Wisconsin Fresh Fruit Conference about Ledge Blanc and why it matters.
Ledge Blanc started as a simple idea: make a clear, high-quality white wine style that actually fits our place. One that’s crisp, aromatic, and approachable, but still serious. A wine that tells the story of the Wisconsin Ledge and helps people understand what our fruit can do.
That story keeps coming back to the same point: hybrids aren’t a compromise-they’re the future.
These grapes are built for our climate. They ripen with balance, hold complex acidity, and don’t need the same level of inputs to succeed. That means healthier vineyards, more consistent farming, and wines that make sense here—not just technically, but culturally.
Ledge Blanc isn’t about forcing something. It’s about saying this is what the Wisconsin Ledge AVA does well, and doing it with intention. Seeing growers, winemakers, and fruit folks engage with that idea at the conference was energizing.
The future of Midwest wine is already being grown. We just have to keep believing in it and making wines that prove the point.
