Botham Vineyards is a picturesque Wisconsin winery near Barneveld where Peter Botham produces regionally distinctive wines on his family farm.

Vin 10 is a semi-dry white wine that represents the 10th addition to the Botham portfolio. It’s made from Geisenheim grapes, a hybrid of riesling and chancellor grapes that is hardy enough to withstand Wisconsin winters.
This wine has a floral and grassy aroma with citrus and stone fruit flavors. It has the herbal elements of sauvignon blanc with the fruit of a riesling.

Botham said initial reaction to this wine has been positive and we can see why. While it’s not a perfect 10 (which would be a 5 on our scale), we certainly proclaim Vin 10 a winner.
