Cairn O' Mohr Fruit Wines are made in our small winery on the farm near Errol. What we do is gather up strawberries, raspberries, brambles, elderberries, elderflowers, oak leaves even, from all around, prepare them in different ways with water, sugar and various other ingredients to make a kind of sweet fruity soup, then we introduce our resident grape yeast into the barrels. Overnight these clever little organisms come to life and set to work converting the sugars in the mix to alcohol, breathing off carbon dioxide in the process which makes it go all frothy. After three days the must (what you call it) is hand pressed and when all the sugar has been turned to alcohol, the yeasts slip in to repose and gradually fall to the bottom of the tank. The clearing wine is drawn off from the top, filtered, bottled and stored in the dark.
