Assistant Winemaker & Cellar Hand
(Wine Jobs:
Vineyards & Cellars )
Full Time
Toronto,
Ontario
Pearl Morissette is an estate in Jordan Ontario that produces quality driven wines that express the vintage, the variety and the region. We take a low intervention approach in the cellar and vineyard. Making wines in this manner, in this region, takes a lot of focus and attention to detail. A quick google search will give you an idea of what we are all about.
Pearl Morissette is looking for an assistant winemaker and a couple cellar hands for harvest. The roles will include the usual winery duties throughout harvest, juice/wine analyses, bottling, blending, planning winery logistics, all crush pad and cellar duties, etc. It is a very small team and as such every member of it will be exposed to all aspects of the winemaking process. We are unique in the sense that we utilize a wide variety of fermentation vessels. Including but not limited to, concrete vats, concrete eggs, clay qvevri, oak vats and 60 year old oak foudre. We have our classic cuvée’s but also have a number of experimental wines that allow us to play and have some fun though harvest.
The successful candidates will be required to be efficient, have a strong work ethic, attention to detail and an open mind. Starting date for vintage cellar hands will be Sep/October 2017, but the assistant winemaker roll will start ASAP. Full details, housing and terms will be discussed in the interview.
Remuneration will depend on experience.
