A new wine is here and it is called Spingwine. You may know about Icewine, wine that is produced from frozen grapes which is very sweet and thick and mostly consumed as a dessert wine. Yet have you heard of “Springwine©”? It’s a new category of wine that is made from birch nectar or birch sap from birch trees, which is harvested in the spring of the year.
In the fall of the year, birch trees looses it leaves and they decompose over the winter. Nurturance from those leaves is stored in the ground. In the spring as the snow melts, the tree will absolute vitamins and minerals through its root system and the sap will flow through the tree. This sap is naturally filtered through the tree as the sap runs from the roots system, through the trunk and to the buds of the trees. It is at that point when we tap the tree and collect 5 to 10% of the sap, to be utilized for making our birch sap wine or “Springwine©” which we named “Lady of the Woods©”
