Bartlett Maine Estate Winery

44°29′27″N 68°00′55″W Bartlett Maine Estate Winery in Gouldsboro, Maine[1] is the state's oldest winery. It was established in 1983,[2] by Bob Bartlett.[3]

The winery is known for producing fruit wines, especially wines based on pears, apples, raspberries and wild blueberries, staple crops in Maine.[4] It was one of the first producers of dry fruit wines, with most traditional fruit wines being sweet.[3] In 1996, the Bartlett Maine Estate's blueberry wine was named as one of Wine Enthusiast magazine's "Top 40 red wines in the world".[5] Down East Magazine described the winery's pear wine as "medium-bodied with a mineral quality reminiscent of a good Chablis".[6]
