New Brunswick Wines: A Unique Terroir
Cool Atlantic breezes, combined with the fertile soil, provide an environment conducive for certain grape varieties and fruits to flourish. This results in wines with distinctive flavours and profiles. Magnetic Hill Winery, in particular, capitalizes on this unique terroir. Each year they produce over 50,000 bottles of 100% NB grown grape wines. By harnessing locally grown grapes and fruits including strawberries and cranberries, the Everett family crafts antioxidant-rich wines that truly embody the essence of New Brunswick. From crisp, aromatic whites to rich, velvety reds, and delightful fruit wines, there is something for every palate.
