Unlike the candy bar whose makers refuse to reveal how the caramel happens to get inside their bars, we at Rush Creek Wines are glad to bare all, to reveal how our remarkable "Strawberry Chocolate Wine" came to be.

Remarkable is a description that must be shared with two other outstanding Elgin County Businesses as well as that of Rush Creek Wines.

These being G&M Howe Farms, masters of the strawberry growers, as well as Clovermead bees & Honey, wizards in the management of their honey bees.

The process starts with a very unique variety of strawberry. A plant grown by Glen Howe which produces berries of unmatched sweetness & quality but most importantly a plant that displayed extraordinary receptiveness to outside flower influences.

To these fields of special strawberry plants, add Clovermeads' specially bred strain of honeybees, who can actually be directed to do more tasks than pollinate and gather nectar! Well, suddenly it all flashed before Rush Creek's Wine Master!

Kim would source the highest quality, finest ground cocoa powder and have Glen Howe strategically place trays of this cocoa powder throughout his berry field during blossom and Chris Hiemstra, of Clovermead put his bees to work adding this cocoa powder to their legs as they go about pollinating the strawberry plants and thus infusing the chocolate flav our into the blossoms and on into the berries!

Brilliant! Then it was done!

Master Wine maker that he is, Kim took these unique berries and applied Rush Creek Winery's usual forward thinking philosophy and quest for perfection to produce this truly fine wine known as Decadence!

A wine with tantalizing bouquet that begins with a delicious strawberry note & ending with a long velvety chocolate finish!

A miraculous joint effort - all neighbours~ in the great County of Elgin, where everything is possible!
