There are 25 acres of planted vineyards on the Wollersheim estate at Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin. Most of the acreage is devoted to winter hardy French-American hybrids and some other experimental varieties. Our main grape is called Marechal Foch. It is a very reliable and versatile variety.

Vineyards do the best on slopes because of increased water drainage, air flow and sun exposure....and we make different wines from grapes grown in different places! Grapes from flatter land will give us young, light to medium-bodied wines, while grapes grown on steep slopes give us full-bodied rich wines.

We make 5 different wines from our vineyards: Prairie Blush and Prairie Red from the young, flat vineyards, Ruby Nouveau and Domaine du Sac from the medium aged and medium slope vineyards, and Domaine Reserve from the oldest and steepest vineyard. These wines carry the appellation "Lake Wisconsin Viticultural Area".

We also work with several vineyards that custom-grow grapes for us in New York, and Washington state. This enables us to produce wines from both vinifera and French-American hybrids: Chardonnay, Johannisberg Riesling, Pinot Noir, Marechal Foch, and Seyval Blanc.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
