WINE DESCRIPTION
Black Star Farms Arcturos Riesling Late Harvest is a premium quality dessert wine produced by Black Star Farms, a renowned winery located in the Leelanau Peninsula AVA of Michigan. The wine is made from Riesling grapes grown in the estate vineyards, which are known for their unique soil composition and favorable microclimate. The grapes are harvested late in the season, allowing them to develop rich and concentrated flavors. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and slow fermentation to preserve the natural sweetness and acidity of the fruit. The resulting wine is a luscious and complex dessert wine with notes of honey, apricot, and citrus, balanced by a refreshing acidity. It is a perfect accompaniment to fruit-based desserts, cheese, or foie gras.

ORIGINS
Winery: Black Star Farms
Region: Michigan
Michigan is a state in the Great Lakes region of the United States, located in the north-central part of the country. Michigan has a long history of winemaking, with the first vineyards planted in the early 1800s, but plantings are currently on the rise.
The first vineyards in Michigan were planted in the early 1800s by French settlers. The state's wine industry grew steadily until Prohibition in the 1920s, when it was almost completely wiped out. After Prohibition, the industry slowly began to rebuild, and by the 1970s, there were over 100 wineries in the state. Today, Michigan is home to over 200 wineries, making it the sixth-largest wine-producing state in the US.CUSTOMER RATING
