Our Philosophy
We love Maine and we love wine.
We aim to make true, personal wines that connect you to this beautiful state and the delicious wild fruit that has grown here for more than 10,000 years.
Wild blueberries are fundamental to Maine’s history, geography, and culture, and they’re fundamental to our approach to pure winemaking: using local ingredients from local farmers to produce unique, delicious wines that express the character of where they’re from.
Why blueberries?
As Mainers, we know that wild Maine blueberries are incredible. Their inimitable flavor – ambrosial, herbal, saline, sweet – is intense and, well, wild. The bushes grow on scrubby, pine-forested slopes near the Atlantic ocean, and somehow the berries taste like that.
They’re ideal for making fine sparkling and aromatized wines because they’re high in acidity, small in size (better skin-to-juice ratio), and boast a deep flavor and naturally low sugar content that makes savory, light-bodied wines. We buy all of our fruit directly from a small number of organic farms in the wild-blueberry-producing regions of Maine.
