Door Peninsula Winery Continues to Win Gold
Carlsville, WI - Door Peninsula Winery (DPW) announced the winning of its first gold medal of 2013 last Thursday. The medal was awarded to their Lighthouse White vintage at the annual International Eastern Wine Competition (IEWC), a competition that judges wines from across the Midwest, Eastern United States & Canada.
This award recognizes
Lighthouse White as being in the top 10 percent of all wines in this year's
competition of over 1,037 entries.
Made from regionally sourced
Catawba grapes, Lighthouse White is one of the most popular wines at DPW.
"I think the popularity of
Lighthouse White is due to the fact that it is very similar to Moscato, which
has a huge following in the market right now," said Paul Santoriello,
winemaker for DPW. "It is a sweet white, balanced with high acidity,
making it a very easy drinking wine that pairs well with almost any
food."
Lighthouse White is part of
DPW's Signature Lighthouse Series; a collection of premium varietal, or
grape, wines like Merlot, Chardonnay and estate-grown grapes like La Crosse
and Marechal Foch Hybrid Red.
DPW's Sweet Survivor was also
awarded a bronze medal at the IEWC. Sweet Survivor has been a philanthropic
project over the last 3 years for DPW. $1 from every bottle sold is donated
to Door CANcer, a community volunteer organization benefiting the families of
cancer victims.
"Since beginning this project,
we've been able to donate over $6,000 to Door CANcer," said Rob Pollman,
Chief Operations Officer at DPW. "Both the wine & the project have
been very well received. Winning a medal for Sweet Survivor is just another
way for us to spread the word about the organization & helping families
in Door County."
DPW is in its 39th year of
operation and offers complimentary tastes of the full line of award-winning
wines at the tasting bar in Carlsville, open daily, year round. More
information about wines and hours of operation can be found on DPW's website:
