More Black Currant

As most of you know, our best selling wine, "Back Home", is made from Black Currants which are very common and populous in this area. What you may not know, however, is that we have such a large crop of black currant bushes that we have way too much for us to use everything. Therefore, we actually export a lot of the berries to the United States, where there happens to be demand for them.

We do, however, use a good amount of the bushes, as our "Back Home" and other black currant wines sell very quickly, and so we are always needing to harvest the berries and prepare more wine. And the time to do that is here again, one last time before winter sets in. The berries have already been harvested, and now we are ready to press this years crop and turn the berries into a delicious juice, and begin the fermentation process for wine. We are also going to be bottling some more "Back Home" (as it is nearly sold out again) from a previous black currant crop in the coming days so that everyone can keep on enjoying our best selling wine.

While we hope that most of you have had a chance to sample or purchase a bottle of our "Back Home", we want to remind and inform those of you that love that lovely Black Currant taste that we have a number of other wines that are made from black currants as well. Our "Country Sunrise" is also a black currant wine, although it is a semi-dry with a bit sweeter of a taste (about a 1) for those that find the "Back Home" a bit too tart.  For only $10.70 a bottle, it goes great with barbequed ribs.
Our "Apple Sunset" is also a favourite of many, and like "Country Sunrise" is an off-dry or semi-dry wine that is a beautiful blend of apple (65%), black currant (30%), and cherry (5%). This wine is a very reasonable $8.70 for a bottle and goes excellent with light cheeses, cheese fondues or quesadillas.
Finally, we have two sweet dessert wines that have won multiple awards over the years just like "Back Home", with each winning several gold medals. Our most prestigious wine is our Country Symphony #9, which is a Vidal iced wine blended with black currant. It is our most expensive wine, priced at $25.70, but it is well worth the price, as it has an unforgettable taste and will leave your mouth watering for more. It goes well with any gourmet dessert.
The second dessert wine made with black currant is our exceedingly popular "Red Velvet", which is a Cassis style black currant wine. Priced at $13.70 per bottle, it is the perfect treat to top off a great meal and dessert, and can even be used for a dressing over ice cream.

We hope that you all will come in and try one of these wines, especially if you haven't done so before, and leave with one or all under your arm at the end of your visit!
