Sirius Pear Dessert Wine
Decadent ripe fruit combines with woodsy spice in this wine produced from 100% Bartlett pears. Because we source these pears from a neighboring farm, we are able to capture and bottle the opulent flavors of the perfectly ripened fruit. This wine is made in the port-style and fortified with our own pear brandy.

Wine Makers Comments:
Sirius Pear Dessert Wine, is one that is most popular with its loyal fans. It is the true essence of Northern Michigan pears. Highly aromatic and full of rich fruit flavors, this is a true treat!
