The Wines at Sovereign Estate
At Sovereign Estate, we strive to produce world-class wines using our estate-grown grapes, Minnesota grown grapes, and grapes from around the nation. Our vineyard, located on the north shore of Lake Waconia, grows esquisite Marquette, La Crescent, and Frontenac Blanc, and our winemaking style is to highlight the unique quality of these Minnesota grapes.
White Wines
Talon Crest 2017
Our most popular white wine, semi-sweet and fruity, Talon Crest is perfect with poultry, cream sauces, and spicy Asian cuisine.
Rosé Wines
Red Wines
Marquette 2016
The 2016 vintage of Marquette is low in acidity, with a smoother mouthfeel than the 2015 vintage. Aged on 100% French oak. Similar in style to Burgundy reds.
Tenuta Di Sovrano 2014
“Tenuta di Sovrano” is how you say “Sovereign Estate” in Italian. A dry red wine with rich flavors of choke cherry, aromas of spicy cedar, parching tannins, and medium full body. Aged in a blend of 2/3 French oak and 1/3 American oak. Similar in style to Super Tuscan.
Reserve Wines
Frontenac Blanc Reserve 2016
The reserve Frontenac Blanc Reserve ’16 was again aged in Hungarian oak barrels. This dry white wine is flavorful with notes of butterscotch and cream. Similar in style to Chardonnay.
Marquette Reserve 2018
The reserve Marquette was again aged in Hungarian oak barrels, which lend complex notes of coffee and cocoa along side the cherry, raspberry, and earthiness from the grape. Very limited quantities available, each bottle signed by the winemaker.
