Elk Run Champagne

Current Vintage 1999 Blanc de Blancs and 1999 Seyval

Elk Run made its first sparkling wine in 1991 and has been producing award-winning, critically acclaimed "méthode champenoise" wines ever since. Elk Run produces three different sparklers. A Blanc de Noir from its estate’s grown Pinot Noir, a Blanc de Blancs from its Chardonnay and a few vintages of Seyval. These wines are aged a minimum of four years in the bottle before being disgorged. This creates a wine with nice fruit; tart acidity and tiny bubbles that dance on the tongue, all wines are made in a brute style.  For those who wish a little more sweetness we recommend a Kat Royal.  Add a touch of Sweet Katherine wine and sweeten to taste.  A great answer at a party to meet anyone’s palate.

Sweet Katherine

This after dinner wine is a made from Cabernet Sauvignon finished sweet.  It is full of fruit and complexity and goes well with chocolate desserts as well as strong cheeses. This is a very vestal wine. Made from such a dynamic grape it can be drunk in many ways: Serve it cold as a dessert wine or warm as a mulled wine. We add a small piece of cinnamon stick and orange peel and warm, and made into Sangria. (2-parts Sweet Katherine/2-parts tonic/1-part orange juice or used as a Kat Royal; one glass of Elk Run Champagne; a drop or two of Sweet Katherine)

Vin de Jus

Rated as the best ice wine made in North America by Wineries of the East, this is a classic German-style ice wine made from the Riesling grape. It is lusciously sweet, but it has good underlying acidity to balance it. It is expected to age for
15-20 years. It is a two-time Winner of the Maryland Governor’s Cup.
