And with the beginning of a new year, we are pleased to announce that we are ready to start the Barrel Club!!
The Barrel Club is where we create a large batch of wine (230 litres) in our stainless-steel fermenters and then age the wine in a Hungarian Oak Cask. Creating a high-quality wine with tons of character and flavour. Sounds like a variety you want to have in your cellar? Keep reading…
We have our first three varieties on order and they should be arriving this week. Just choose which variety or varieties you want to join in on and then give us a call to hold your spot. Once we have 10 spots filled, we will get that batch on the go. Payment can be made over the phone (403-981-5511) to save a trip to the shop. Once it is sold out, we will contact everyone to come in to pitch the yeast. Just like all of our kits this opportunity will get you about 30 bottles of wine.
