Vignoble Carone is a 22-acre premium estate winery located less than 45 minutes from downtown Montreal in the heart of the Lanaudière Valley, in the agricultural settlement of Lanoraie, Quebec. Owned and operated by Anthony Carone. In 2002, the decision was taken to update the existing farmhouse and renovate most of the structure in order to facilitate the production of wine. Today, the winery consists of a modest 3,000 square foot building with a 250 square foot climate controlled cellar and a new 500 square foot fermentation room addition (constructed in the summer of 2004). The Carone family is constantly renovating the winery and expects to have most of the finishing touches completed by fall of 2006.
In 2004, current production volume reached approximately 1,000 cases/year which is based on a direct correlation to the number of existing grapevines in the vineyard. Carone produces mainly red wines from grapes grown on a 1.5 hectare plot. Lanoraie a signature wine, a medium bodied red, produced from a field blend of Cabernet Severnyi, Frontenac and Landot. Lanoraie is full of dark ripe black fruit flavours with lots of smoky oak, liquorice and vanilla. This particular wine is aged in new American oak barrels for a period of 6 to 8 months before bottling.
