Ascella Pure Wine is the official wine of the Canadian Film Festival. You will have sampled it at Opening Night, or one of our drink receptions throughout the Festival in August.
It hails from the Hunter Valley's largest organic vineyard. The family-owned business is run by Canadian-Australians Geoff & Barb Brown. It recently won 3 medals in the 2011 Hunter Valley Wine Industry Awards, and Ascella wine maker Liz Jackson is the Hunter Valley Wine Maker of the Year.
Geoff Brown was born and raised in Wagga Wagga, but moved to Canada some 43 years ago to do his PhD in engineering. He met Barb, who is from Vancouver. Barb & Geoff made Australia their home six years ago and now run the largest organic vineyard in the Hunter Valley. (They're also on Facebook!).
Barb & Geoff are committed to health, wellbeing and protecting the environment. The choose not to spray harmful herbicides, fungicides and pesticides on the grapes in their vineyard, nor on their orchard or vegetable garden. The result is an award-winning organic wine of the highest quality, that not only tastes better but is better for our health.
If you'd like another chance to sample Ascella's pure wines, head on out to the 9th Spirit Of The Vine Festival in the Broke Fordwich Wine Region. Ascella will be holding wine tastings alongside live music and art, jewellery, food and coffee stalls at Catherine Vale Vineyard, on the weekend of October 22nd-23rd. Download the flyer.
