Happy Winter


The Cairn o Mohr cafe opens up for weekends from March the 9th for weekends and 5 days a week from Wednesday March the 27th. We'll need to think of some stunt to mark it's re-opening. Any suggestions? Rhubarb wine's meant to be coming out in Easter; whether she will or no is up to her, she does take an offy long time in the dressing room. We have some other interesting drinks in the pipe-line that are mostly secret at the moment. Happy winter!

Been very busy the last few months what with bottling fizzy while the weather was cold and heaps of orders fleein out the door. Last of the Red Currant wine and Cider are still fermenting in the hot box but should be finishing soon.

 The Citrus wine is tasting delicious and is now for sale in the on line shop.
 Elderberries and Apples in a bit short supply this year, so if you have any in your garden to bring in or for us to pick please give us a call.

August

Well, in spite of the horrendous weather, the local fruit growers still manage to supply us with the most excellent fruit , though everything is running a couple of weeks late. Still got to get in a few tons of rasps and over seven tons of strawbs, but otherwise all is well.

Working on the Citrus Wine label to launch for Winery's 25th Anniversary on Saturday 29th Sept 2012. This was the first wine Ron ever made so we've fermented a few tanks as a commemorative collector's item. Tasting good.


Going to do a bar at the Carse Fun Day and Folk Fest at Errol Airfield on Saturday 25th August. We will have our famous Cairn o Mohr Party Punch on sale, so come and visit us on the day, Cheers!

Two hot days of sun and suddenly it's all go.
The Elderflowers are picked, destalked and the wine is fermenting away just fine.
 Masses of flowers are now soaking for the Sparkling Elderflower and a ton of Rasps and half a ton of Brambles came in today and a ton of Strawberries are due in on Friday.
 Also the new labels arrived for the Cider so the 2011 Vintage Cider is now available, really Appley and lightly sparkling, slightly sweeter than the 2010 Tart Cider which now has a beautiful new label as well.
Rasp/Strawb Berry Up now out for the Summer.
 All available to order online or from our shop here.

Just finishing off the May bottling with Berry Up tomorrow ( which will be on our shelves for the weekend), and the 25th  Anniversary Celebration Citrus which will be out in the Summer.

Getting ready for the Spring Oak leaf picking over the next few weeks and we will be making a trial tank of Beetroot wine from Fingask Castle Beetroot.

The New cider label is progressing at last and hopefully the new 2011 cider will be out in a month. Sweeter than the 2010 vintage it is extremely tasty and will be ready for the Summer. Still got some 2010 cider in stock for if you like a drier one.

Fisherman's Beer Festival in Broughty Ferry at the beginning of June are putting the 2011 cider on draught, as well as serving our wines, so get yourself along there to try them out.
