NEW RELEASE 2019 Stirling Barrique Pinot Noir
The 2019 Stirling Barrique Pinot Noir is made with grapes grown in our impeccable Churchside vineyard, aged in barrels made from a White Oak tree harvested in Stirling, Ontario less than 50km from our vineyard and coopered at Carriage House Cooperage in Picton. If you are looking for local wine, this is it.
"Ripe red fruit notes radiate from the glass, followed by earthy notes, cola, and baking spice..."
- Keith Tyers (Winemaker)
HARVEST HAS BEGUN
Thank you to all our friends and vineyard workers who came out to our picking party on Saturday. We were able to pick all the Pinot Gris in our Ridge vineyard. It was an incredibly fun and fruitful day.
ALCHEMY ARTIST RESIDENCY
Lisa Wood is a visual artist and Assistant Professor at Ishkaabatens Waasa Gaa Inaabateg, Department of Visual Art at Brandon University. With an MFA from Yale University and a BFA from the University of Manitoba, her art practice focuses on figurative painting and drawing that investigates interpersonal relationships, social exchanges, and the role of food. Lisa has been the recipient of many awards and scholarships and exhibits her painting and prints nationally and internationally.
While in Prince Edward County this summer, Lisa was partnered with Closson Chase Vineyard. Shadowing four of Closson Chase’s seasonal farm workers from away, she walked up and down the rows of vines with the workers, listening to their stories and taking photos of them through the vines as they worked putting up protective netting. In her responsive art piece, a 5.5' mixed media drawing titled Walking the Vines, Lisa focuses on the workers’ hands in action. While the workers are largely hidden from view by the lush foliage, their contribution to the county and the vineyard is integral and is shown through this representation of each of the workers' strong nimble hands.
