At Bonaparte Bend Winery we promise that our wines:
· Are produced from 100% British Columbia fruit
· Contain the fruit on the label
· Contain no artificial flavorings
Top quality fruit wines are quite difficult and expensive to make. Why? Because the cost per pound for the fruit is higher than grapes and the final yield is lower.
Not only are fruit wines wonderfully delicious! A pilot testing project at the University of Guelph has turned up some interesting results that link wines made from fruit other than grapes with positive health benefits. Although more in-depth studies are currently underway, fruit wines may be a wonderful way to enjoy the effects of plant derived anti-oxidants found in most fruits.
