Fort Berens Estate Winery - Small Lot Grüner Veltliner 2025

Fort Berens Estate Winery - Small Lot Grüner Veltliner 2025Fort Berens Estate Winery is the culmination of a dream by Rolf de Bruin and Heleen Pannekoek that started in 2005 and took shape with their move with their family to Lilooet, British Columbia in 2009. Partnering with a team of BC investors, they were able to buy a 65 acre property, build a winery, and develop Fort Berens into what it is today. The soils at Fort Berens are a result of deposits made during the last ice age from about 100,000 years ago
