Located close to Greater Vancouver just a little south east of the Langley town centre. The winery is owned by Carlos Lee and Winemaker Charles Herrold. They have 12.2 acreas and take advantage of their southfacing, well drained slope, unique terroir, and favorable microclimate.

One of their objective when starting the winery was to find a good location close to the Greater Vancouver area. Charles' residence is on Blackwood Lane so when he first started the winery, his late best friend Bob suggested "Blackwood Lane" and this name was made permanent when Carlos formed the Company

The tuscany style building will be home to the only barrel cave in the area

The vineyard was optimized to produce Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir.  With additional grapes grown in the Okanagan.

Winemaker : Richard Flynn

Philosophy:
I have observed during complimentary tastings at our winery that people are pleasantly surprised with our wines.  Our winery offers something that appeals to everyone as our fruit wines are diverse in both flavor and sweetness.  Our signature blueberry and cranberry wines seem to be especially popular.  Working with the different fruits has certainly been a challenge as they have such varied characteristics. Similar to grapes there are significant differences in color, flavor, sugar content and quantity of juice you obtain when pressing different varieties of blueberries.  The blueberry musts are quite easy to prepare as they typically have sufficient nutrient for yeasts and require only sugar and a little acid to be added.  Cranberry juice is very acidic and requires a significant acid reduction and addition of nutrient before yeasts will flourish in the must.  I avoid using essences to achieve fruit flavor, aroma and color in our wines.  I prefer to use lots of fruit as we have more than enough available from our farm.  I always wait with anticipation to see how each batch turns out and then decide the best way to finish it that will best achieve a top quality wine and meet our production needs

Winemaking Philosophy:

With over 40 kinds of edible wild berries growing in B.C., it is the aim of the brothers to include as many as possible in their rapidly growing selection of unique blends. Whether out in the wilderness picking the berries or at the plant wild crafting the wines, the rewards come at the end of the day. Keeping true to the humble beginnings of the winery, friends and family are always the first to taste the ‘fruits', or shall it be said ‘wines of our labor.' It is their expressions and words of praise after trying each new wine that gives the brothers of Kermode Wild Berry Wines the assurance of a job well done and the motivation to continue to strive for more. For Fritz and Bob Spriezl this is not a job, but a way of life; simply their passion. 
our goal is to make the best  wines, ports and liqueurs from 100% natural wild berries.
