Ship of Fools is a fan-favorite annual white blend that brings together Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, and Pinot Noir. Dry, richly textured, and mouth-coating, it offers aromas of ripe pear, yellow apple, melon, and citrus zest, underscored by notes of honeycomb, almond skin, and white flower. A portion of the Pinot Blanc adds weight and a creamy mid-palate, while the Pinot Gris brings aromatic lift and brightness, and the Pinot Blanc contributes minerality and fruit-forward flavors.

Terroir Insight

Each component is grown on Old Mission Peninsula, where cool-climate conditions and glacial soils produce wines with elevated acidity, restrained alcohol, and nuanced flavor profiles. Unlike its counterparts in warmer regions, this blend avoids overripe tropicality in favor of precision and length, making it a uniquely Northern Michigan white.

Cellaring Note

Drink now for freshness and energy, or age for 2-4 years to allow tertiary notes of hazelnut, lemon curd, and flint to emerge.
