Duck Creek Vineyard & Winery
Brief overview of the distillery
Duck Creek Vineyard & Winery in Denmark, Wisconsin, brings a vineyard, distillery, and brewery under one roof just minutes from Green Bay. The site crafts wine, mead, spirits, moonshine, beer, and kombucha on site and invites guests into a casual tasting room/taproom with both indoor and outdoor seating.
Raw materials and production
The raw materials come from the vineyard's own grapes as well as local honey for mead.
Notable production features include artisanal production of wine, mead, spirits, beer, and kombucha at the same address; U-Vin DIY winemaking: the producer provides juice and assistance; the customer returns for bottling, capping and labeling of 28 bottles; production of mead from local honey; a vineyard, distillery, and brewery all under one roof; a tasting room/taproom with flight and glass service and an outdoor patio; and local production of wines from their own grape varieties (Brianna, Marquette, Petite Pearl).
Whiskyer
The range spans from dry and lighter white wines to red wines, fruity specialties, and sweeter meads. Among the red wines are Marquette, Devils River Red (with Cabernet Sauvignon), Mallard Red (from Pinot Noir) and Pearly Duck (Petite Pearl). White wines include Creek White, described as a light, refreshing Riesling-type, and Muscovy Duck, which is sweeter with peach and tropical notes. The fruit wines include Black Cherry Noir, Blackberry, Watermelon Crawl, and Razzin’ (raspberry-based). Meads are available in variants such as Black Currant Mead, Sweet Mead, Root Beer Mead, and Orange Cream Mead. On the destination side there are also spirits and moonshines from Denmark Distilling as well as three fixed beers on tap and three rotating taps from New Denmark Brewing Company. There is a gift shop and a wine club for regular customers.
Whisky style and flavor profile
Several products lean toward fruity directions: Muscovy Duck is described with peach and tropical fruit, while the fruit wines deliver cherry, blackberry, and watermelon ciders. Creek White is described as a light and refreshing Riesling-type, and meads add honey sweetness as a pervasive characteristic in the sweeter varieties. Overall the portfolio includes both light, fruity wines and sweeter, honey-based meads.
