Cherry Wine

A perfect balance of sweet and tart is what Mother Nature has provided for our cherry wine. Our wine is produced from 100% estate grown tart cherries, which gives us complete control of the end product. We have two blocks of Balaton and Montmorency cherries dedicated to our cherry wine production. We allow these cherries to hang two to three weeks longer than the rest of our crop, which allows the natural sugar levels to increase. This produces a natural, bright, refreshing sweet tart cherry wine. It is not thick in texture nor does it have an artificial cherry flavor. If you like fresh cherry pie, you are guaranteed to love our cherry wine.

NOSE: Bright cherries with a scent of baking spices on the nose truly make your senses go wild.

PALATE: A balance of sweetness up front followed by a perfect tart finish pleases your palate. The sweetness is balanced by natural fruit acids to keep the finish from being cloying. You will wonder how it is possible to put northern Michigan cherry pie into a bottle.

Excellent cherry wine. Many cherry wines have just a hint of cherry flavor, but Good Harbor has a great strong tart cherry flavor.

I'm very new to drinking wine, I purchased this at a local Busch's grocery store. I was hooked from the very first drink. We enjoyed it with a steak dinner, it didn't take long for us to finish the bottle. I was disappointed in myself I didn't grab a 2nd bottle! Very nice cherry flavoring!

Good Harbor Cherry Wine is the all time favorite wine of my wife and I since we first tasted it about 12 years ago. We live near Chicago and usually make a trip to the Glen Arbor area each year and buy a case of cherry which will last us for a year. Unfortunately, no trip up to Michigan this year. We have never ordered wine by mail before because of the shipping cost. We ordered a case of cherry which we expected to arrive in about a week. We were absolutely shocked when it arrived the morning after we ordered it. Good Harbor - YOU ARE THE BEST!

Normally not a fan of fruit wines because they tend to be sweet. This one is more on the tart side. It's pretty good chilled, but when I tried it warm with mulling spices 👍. I ended up buy 3 bottles. Perfect for fall and the holidays!😊

First i like to thank Good Harbor, for their representative, Amelia who was very nice & helpful to me, when purchasing wine. When i received my Cherry wine it was, very good, the best by far I've had, it was a blend of flavors, that came together as one taste, not to tart, not to sweet, not to acidity, but just right, it was like fresh juicy ripe cheeries off the vine, on a cool Summer's day. Very refreshing, chilled, smooth, crisp & absolutely satisfying to the taste. My only regret, is that i didn't buy more! I most definitely will be ordering more wine from Good Harbor wine company, no doubt!!! 😀👍😊😋🍷🍾🤗
