A look back into our past
I try to create wines that suit our climate and our way of life – wines to drink with the food we grow, make and eat.
– Moose mountain vineyards
MMV was realised to focus on our passion for the region and its ability to produce dry – grown and environmentally sustainable wine. Recently a new home was established on our holistic philosophy to winemaking which starts with climate, empahasizes the importance on the vineyard, as well as wine’s relation to the food we love to grow, cook, and eat.
2008
The first vines were planted with the help of family and friends.
2009
We make ourselves an official winery and begin winery operations.
2012
The vineyard began to expand as the winemaker, Rich’s passion started to grow. He began to plant more varietals including our beloved Tannat.
2017
It is no longer just a hobby for Dr. Schmidt, we’re making Tannat worth talking about.
