Brimfield Winery introduces CBD Wine FOR HEALTH & ENTHUSIASTS

Brimfield Winery re-opened for their 5th season with some interesting newcomers to their Wine, Beer, and Cider portfolio. They have added hemp to the family of grape, hop and apple produced products.

Owners Kate and Rusty Corriveau are excited to introduce new items to the wine portfolio, including dealcoholized CBD infused wines. They are calling them “Dr. Asa’s Travelers Antidote” with a nod at the property’s first owner circa 1820, Dr. Asa Lincoln, and “Travelers Antidote” reflecting elixirs of the past era and the CBD health claims of today.

The wine contains 60 MG CBD and 20 MG CBG - lab tested and posted for CBD aficionados. Carrying this option enhances inclusiveness at the Winery. Nonalcoholic CBD wine might be a welcomed option for a designated driver, someone watching caloric intake, (only 25/35 calories per serving) or just those who love the attributes of the CBD/CBG combination.

“To get authentic dealcoholized wine, you need to start with real wine,” Kate explains. The grapes are grown, harvested, and fermented in the same way they would be for an alcoholic wine. The difference is the additional steps that come into play after the fermentation process but before the beverage is bottled. The alcohol removal method used for our products is vacuum distillation. This allows the removal of the alcohol yet retaining all the natural delicate flavors of wine.

The hemp plant is almost undetectable in the nose of the wine, however, very notable on the palate at first pass. By the second sip, the grapes punch their way through, dominating the taste buds. The Winery carries three varietals: Cabernet, Sangria, and Rose.

The winery has also enhanced its event schedule including some past favorite festivals such as the Pioneer Valley Wine Festival highlighting wineries from across Massachusetts, outdoor concerts with acts like the extremely popular Brimfield Blues Festival (August 26th).
