As Mainers, Ras winemakers have a deep connection with wild blueberries. As they also loved wines, their choice of making blueberry wine is not a surprise.
Blueberries have been growing for 10 000 years in the region and Ras’ goal is to make wine that will connect drinkers to this beautiful fruit. Their approach to winemaking is to use local ingredients to produce wines that express the specificities of their region of origin.
