With the help of their family and friends, Julia and Bryce hand planted the first 2 acres of their vineyard in May of 2019. There are currently two varieties of grapes planted in the vineyard. About 80% of the vines are Petite Pearl vines and 20% are L'Acadie Blanc vines. L'Acadie Blanc is a white wine grape with origins in Canada.
This is a vine that is relatively new in the US. Petite Pearl is a red wine grape developed in Minnesota by viticulturist, Tom Plocher. This vine is also relatively new, first offered commercially in 2010. Olathea Creek Vineyard and Winery is excited to be one of the few Iowa wineries to be making wine with both of these new varieties.
