"The fruit is whole bunch pressed straight to barrel. This means that every barrel has different characteristics from different elements of the press cycle. The juice is then fermented in 100% seasoned French oak, allowing it to extract more toasted nut, struck flint, and cold smoke characters. Once primary fermentation is complete we rack the wine from gross lees and top the barrels. We allow the wine to complete malolactic fermentation fully, as all our ferments are indigenous, MLF can take until Spring brings us warmth." - Alex Croker
Little Brunswick Wine Co. is the culmination of Alex Croker and Rob Lundberg’s efforts to turn a small tax return, and several hundred buckets of grapes into a winery within the tiny five-foot cellar underneath Alex’s house in Brunswick East.
