Magnetic Hill Winery grows into grape wines

l'Acadie Blanc and Mascaret wines from Magnetic Hill Winery
Magnetic Hill Winery is located on Front Mountain Rd in Moncton, overlooking the city. They started as strawberry farmers, and upon deciding to create value-added products, a fruit winery was built.

Today, Magnetic Hill Winery is STILL building, with a brand new state-of-the-art winery set to open later this year (2019). As the winery and vineyard has grown, they have added sparkling fruit wines and still grape wines, using estate grown grapes.

It's been several years of planting, pruning and winemaking to get to this point. A few years ago, winemaker Zack returned to the family farm after 10 years of travelling and working abroad. His experience and tenacity was a deciding factor in the grocery store wine program now enjoyed by most New Brunswickers.
The two wines that I'm really enjoying right now are l'Acadie Blanc and Mascaret. L'Acadie Blanc is a grape that grows very well from New Brunswick, and in some ways is becoming a flagship white wine for our region. It is light-medium bodied, fruity, tropical, crisp, with hints of minerality. The Mascaret is a beautiful red wine blend that is light bodied, also displaying strong fruit character and easy-to-drink.

Both wines can be found at most Superstore and Sobeys locations, and both will be a hit at your next happy hour or dinner party!

Can't get to Moncton? We'll come to you! A private in-home tasting is an awesome option for a "virtual" tour of the province's wineries from the comfort of your living room. 

You choose the date and provide the space and guests, we'll take care of everything else.
