Neu Cellars’ 2022 Crispy

Bottoms Up

In German, “neu” means new, young, or fresh, and northern Michigan winemaker Neu Cellars is more than living up to the name. Established in 2018 by ferment-fanatic John Keller and his father, this “nano-winery” uses regional fruit, sourced from both Old Mission and Leelanau peninsulas, to create all-natural wines (there’s no added sugar or yeast) that are just as unique as you’d expect. This week, we invite you to treat your tastebuds to a bottle of the 2022 Crispy. A blend of hand-picked Chardonnay, Baco Noir, and Leon Millot grapes, this deliciously dark rosé features mouth-watering structure and tart acidity, balanced by flavors of red fruit, watermelon, and hibiscus. We’d pair it with buttery cheeses or ceviche—and maybe a side of summer fireworks. Grab a bottle for $26 at neucellars.com (orders ship out in four to six weeks) or use the “Distribution” tab to find state-by-state availability. Psst—keep an eye out for their newly-planted vineyard in Northport!
