Wisconsin Ledge

The cold winters that freeze Wisconsin's vineyards halfway through the year have forced winemakers here to choose: embrace the constraint, or fight it. Most lean into ice wine and cold-hardy hybrids that taste of resilience—tart cherries, stone fruit, a mineral grip—rather than the ripe fruit you'd find in warmer zones.
