This is our signature blend of grapes with the predominant grape being Niagara, a large, luscious, aromatic green grape. A deep golden color. Sweet peach and pear fruit aromas and flavors. Light bodied and crisp with refreshing tanginess. Clean and fruity—a very good summer picnic wine for sandwiches.

Released in Fall 2009. A blend of white wine grapes that together create a luscious sweet wine that has melon flavors and kiwi notes; this wine is a wonderful sipping wine, enjoy it chilled.


Red Wines

Norton (dry red)
Norton is a regional favorite. Nortons are very hearty grapes and produce a wine that is bold, rich, and well suited to oaking and aging. We've released our Norton for you to enjoy now and to cellar and enjoy in years to come.  This balanced wine is rounded and has subtle flavors of coffee and chocolate coming through.

SuperNova (dry red)
Bright ruby color. Aromas of cinnamon stick, cumin, cherry custard, and tomato follow through on a soft, silky entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium body with tangy acidity and a touch of vine and cedar chips. Finishes with a crisp, spiced apple fade, pepper, and melon rind fade. BTI awarded this wine Highly Recommended.

Red Giant (semi-dry red)
Released in December 2009. Vinted with a new varietal, Noirette. Red Giant has wonderful tannin structure and flavors of raspberry and licorice. A wonderful new varietal that is being introduced in the region!

Concord (semi-sweet red)
Very smooth and wonderful deep amethyst color that is as fragrant as the vineyard in summertime. This wine is reminiscent of the wines made on farms and enjoyed on back porches for generations. Ours is delightfully jammy but not overly sweet.

Red Star (sweet red)
The Chambourcin grapes in this wine have been blended to produce a big, rich and smooth sweet wine with Sweet, jammy grape and vanilla aromas. A round entry leads to a sweet medium-bodied palate with ripe grape and blackberry flavors. Finishes with a pleasant ripe berry fade. Not overly complicated but very pleasant. It is best enjoyed at a lower temperature. It is a wine that can be paired with mostly any foods or enjoyed on its own.

Blush Wine & Other Wine drinks

Venus (semi-sweet rose)
Pale ruby color with a silver cast. Ripe aromas of grape, cherry, and rhubarb. A brisk lightly spritzy entry leads to a sweetish light-to medium-bodied palate with rhubarb and watermelon flavors. Finishes with a tart, lightly tannic, cherry skin fade. A simple, clean, picnic wine.

Sangria (sweet blended wine drink)
Reportedly, we serve the best Sangria around. You will have to try it and see what you think! We make it with a special recipe that uses the wines previously bottled by the former owner of our winery. StarView is the only place you can enjoy our Sangria, we don't sell it to go and we don't distribute it. But you can enjoy it year round here by the glass or pitcher.

Wine Slushies (sweet frozen blended drink - Seasonal and Summer Only)
Perfect frozen drink for a hot summer day! We serve our slushies with one of our more popular sweeter wines (Venus, Concord, or SilverStar). You can enjoy the slushies here during the warm months, or purchase the ingredients here & we'll give you the recipe so you can make this at home with your friends.
