At Pointe D’Vine, we believe that every bottle tells a story, rooted in family heritage, vineyard terroir, and a spirit of innovation. Our latest wine label refresh captures that narrative beautifully, bringing together cleaner, modern lines with the same timeless symbols and names you’ve come to love.
Why We’ve Branded it Down to One Label.
We’ve made things simpler and smarter by going down to one incredible label at Pointe D’Vine. Moving from two separate labels to a single unified design streamlines production and allows our wines to shine with consistent visual identity across our red and white varieties. But what hasn’t changed is our iconic Cupola symbol, the heart of every label, and the cherished names that speak to our land and legacy.
A Name for Every Vine, a Story in Every Sip
Each of our hybrid wines is a tribute to the property, our heritage, and the stories rooted deep in our vines. You can view our full collection and order online through our wine purchase page. But let’s take a deep dive into our wines.
Austin Creek
Named for the creek dancing through the heart of the property, Austin Creek captures the refreshing spirit of our vineyard. Imagine soft floral aromas and crisp, bright fruit. It captures the beautiful reflection of the flowing water.
7th Generation
A tribute to seven generations of Speckhart stewardship, this red wine nods to tradition and continuity. Crafted from hybrid grapes with a nod to approachable, food-friendly flavors, it’s a toast to heritage and the future. We’re already down to our last few bottles of this fan favorite!
Arroyo
Arroyo, a Spanish wine, represents the dramatic landforms that frame our vineyard. This hybrid grape wine brings both depth and elegance, with earthy undertones that mirror the gorge’s rugged beauty.
Smash 57
Playful, vibrant, and rooted in place, this name pays homage to Highway 57, which guides guests to our doorstep, along with the joyful act of “smashing” grapes in a celebration of winemaking. Expect ripe fruit flavors with a fun-forward twist.
1868 Red (formerly Barn Red)
Our celebratory red wine honors the year the ancestral barn was built. Same beloved dry red blend, refreshed with a label that pays tribute to our history with bold elegance.
Cupola Rosé
Now nearly sold out, this charming rosé dances with bright aromas and a delicate blush hue, topped off by our signature Cupola icon.
What Makes Pointe D’Vine’s Hybrids Unique
Our wines are crafted from cold-hardy hybrid grape varietals, blends that bring together the charm of classic wine grapes with the resilience needed for the western Illinois climate. These hybrids are chosen for balance, flavor, and vibrancy year after year.
You can learn more about our grapes and growing practices by visiting The Vineyard at Pointe D’Vine, where these varietals take root among our rolling hills and fertile soil.
The magic of hybrids lies in their dual nature: they feature the fruity, aromatic profiles of Vitis vinifera (like Pinot Gris or Cabernet Sauvignon) while carrying the disease resistance and hardiness of native American grapes. The result: wines that are elegant yet down-to-earth, expressive, and dependable.
The Label Redesign: Modern Meets Meaningful
- Cleaner, modern lines – Our new label design utilizes sleek typography and a minimal aesthetic, ensuring each bottle makes a statement at your table.
- Consistent iconography – The Cupola remains our unifying brand symbol, an homage to the barn’s crowning architectural feature, and a visual threat connecting every wine we make.
- Legendary names you know and love – We retained each wine’s name to preserve their stories, from geographic markers like Austin Creek and Arroyo to heritage-rich titles like 7th Generation and 1868 Red.
With the white wine labels now in stock and the red designs nearing completion, your favorite bottles will be easier to find and even more beautiful to behold.
