In 1997, 5
acres of Pinot Noir cuttings were planted and the first harvest of
the grapes occurred in October of 2000.
In order to cultivate a high
quality grape, the vineyard at Glenugie Winery produces only
organically grown grapes. There will be no pesticides or herbicides
used on the grapes during the growing cycle. Sulfur, which is an
organic, natural element, is used on the grapes and chicken manure
is used for fertilization. The vineyard is hand and machine weeded;
the organic method of growing grapes is a very labour intensive
process.
Visitors will be able to have a
wine-tasting experience at a vineyard located in the heart of the
countryside.
