Farm News

Spring is an exciting time of year on the farm. The vines came through the winter well, and I'm looking forward to another growing season. We're seeing lots of wildlife around the farm, and it's like greeting old friends.

In spring, the vines are a deep burgundy colour. Cranberries grow on an evergreen vine, which means they keep their leaves year round. But, when the vine is dormant, the leaves turn burgundy. They'll be actively growing and green again by mid May.

We got a lot of sanding done this winter, which will help rejuvinate the vines and control pests. We'll also hold the flood water on the beds until mid-April to help protect the vines from heavy frost and as a natural way of controlling pests. Check out this video for more information:

Winery News

They're back! Our 'Muskoka Moment' Cranberry Spritzers are back in our store for spring and summer sipping. I'm also excited to announce our 2010 vintage of Oak Aged Wild Blueberry Wine is now available. We've nicknamed it 'Muskoka Red' because it's red wine Muskoka style! Made from 100% wild blueberries, it's aged in French oak and is quite similar to a traditional red wine.

I have an assistant winemaker! Not only is he helping me with shows (check out our up-coming shows on the left) but we're also working on some exciting new ideas. How does Blueberry Port sound? What about Sparkling Cranberry Wine (Cranpagne?). Stay tuned for further updates.

For details on wine releases, check out our Facebook page - or message me on Twitter!
