Lawton Ridge Winery

We’re trying a new promotion starting this month with our “Staff Pick of the Month”! Our leader and owner Andrew is kicking off this series for June with his pick of Glowing Vine! We tried to have a little fun with a photo shoot but weren’t really sure what we were doing. Just know we take making quality wine from grapes we grow seriously, but like to have a little fun along the way!

This wine is an amber / orange style wine which means that the wine was fermented on the white grape skins that it was crafted from. The wine picks up some orange or amber color as a result. To our knowledge, this is one of the first orange style wines coming out of the Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail growing region. We finish it completely dry with no sugar. It’s textured mouthfeel has notes or peach, tangerine, and some flowers on the finish. It’s a great wine as a sipper on its own, but also with fish and Middle Eastern cuisine.

As an awesome bonus, this wine was also just named a MI Governors Cup 2025 Gold Medal winner this week! That’s right, take home a gold medal wine for under $20. This promo will run at the tasting room on Stadium Drive exclusively all June long!
