The Punch Down

5. Mackenzie Brisbois - Trailblazer


Listen Later

Mackenzie Brisbois is the Winemaker and Vineyard Manager at Trail Estate Winery in Prince Edward County, Ontario. Mackenzie is for sure a trailblazer in minimalist winemaking. We talk about what it means to be a minimal intervention winemaker, how to carve your own path in the industry, respecting your terroir and understanding the growers perspective. She touches on her journey in the industry, including her belief of leaving gender out of the conversation.

Learn about some cool new projects that Trail has on the go, including a wine forest and hear how she relates harvest to drinking - I've never heard it phrased in such a way and it just made so much sense. I love what Mackenzie brings to the industry, she's one of my favourite winemakers so grab a glass and enjoy the show!
