All wines are made with native yeast fermentations and minimal intervention in the winery, which means that nothing is added or taken away during the winemaking process. At harvest, the grapes are processed in the family’s basement winery in Stowe.Įllison Estate Vineyard makes natural wine from one of the oldest and largest single plantings of grapevines in Vermont. Kendra and Rob are working to restore the land’s health using organic and biodynamic farming practices and have a strong commitment to regenerative agriculture. Together with a small team, including sheep that are integral to the process, they grow the grapes, make the wine, and run the business.
With their three young children in tow, the Knapik family lives on the farm during the growing season. “Kendra and Rob Knapik founded Ellison Estate Vineyard in 2018 when they purchased an abandoned vineyard on a 50-acre farm in Grand Isle, Vermont.

SCRIBE WINERY MARCH 2 FREE
So what are you waiting for!? Put us down in your calendar for a free tasting this coming Friday night from 5 - 7pm to taste through some boxed, canned, or pouches of wine! The real truth is sustainable and alternative packaging is the way of the future for natural winemaking! Just look at producers like Scribe and Matthiason putting wine in cans! Glass is heavy! Heavy bottles = more gas needed to transport = higher price paid both financially and for the environment.ġ traditional wine glass contributes 675 grams of CO2 per liter! 1 boxed wine like the ever so fabulous Sandy Giovese (pictured above) contributes ONLY 70 grams of CO2 per Liter! It holds 4 bottles, stays good for 1 month after opening, and it tastes great! Glass is hard to recycle and often ends up in a landfill even when it should’ve been recycled. Traditional wine packaging is a big (if not the biggest) contributor to climate change by the wine industry!Īs a natural wine shop and bar we talk a lot about pesticides, additives, and all sorts of other things, but let’s talk about glass! They’re high-quality, organic wines that come sans glass. The options we carry are definitely not Franzia Sunset Blush. BUT we love alternatively packaged wine at Salt & Bubbles. We don’t blame you! There’s a lot of ick out there. You might be skeptical about wine that comes in boxes, cans, or bags.
