The resulting sugar at harvest was 48.6 degree brix and the wine was bottled with sugar of 22.75 degree brix and 11.12% alc. by vol. Southwestern Michigan, with it’s excellent growing season, is one of the few wine regions of the world that can produce quality wines in this style.

  Oh Hell Yeah! Red
After fishing on the “Ole St. Joe” River in Michigan, friends and I were enjoying a glass of my blended red wine, recounting the day and admiring the catch. Red, a good old boy, came up to see our catch and I poured him a glass of the red wine. He tasted it, looked over the glass and says, “OH HELL YEAH”. From then on, he was known as, “Oh Hell Yeah! Red”. Enjoy this soft, slightly sweet red wine with friends and tales of the good life.
  Vidal Selected Late Harvest
Harvested at the same time as the 2008 ice-wine picked at 28% sugar levels and bottled at 9% residual sugar. This is a delightful little brother of the 2008 icewine. Big rich and bold but full of finesse, ice wine lovers will enjoy this wine with desert and will revile in it’s splendor. This 2008 vintage wine was the first wine produced at Founders Wine Cellar.
