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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wild blueberries are fundamental to Maine’s history, geography, and culture, and they\u2019re fundamental to our approach to pure winemaking: using local ingredients from local growers to produce unique, delicious wines that express the character of where they’re from.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why blueberries?<\/h2>\n

As Mainers, we know that wild Maine blueberries are incredible. Their inimitable flavor\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/span>ambrosial, herbal, saline, sweet\u00a0\u2013 is intense and, well, wild. <\/span>The bushes grow on scrubby, pine-forested slopes near the Atlantic ocean, and somehow the berries taste like that. <\/span><\/p>\n

They\u2019re ideal for making fine sparkling and aromatized wines because they\u2019re 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 growers in the wild-blueberry-producing regions of Maine. <\/span><\/p>\n
