Blauer Himmel

Blauer Himmel Wine Details
Price:

Description: Our House Wine, “Blue Heaven” is a red composed primarily of Blaufrankish grapes. First released in August of 2012, Blauer quickly became a favorite in our tasting room, and the bottles flew off the shelves. Between the “heavenly” taste, and the love we poured into the label design, this unique red carries the promise of being known as a Long Cliff trademake for years to come.
