“Rara Avis means rare bird. It is a fitting name for a fortified wine from Haskap berries that was released in November by Echo Haskap Farm in Lumby, BC. It is the only fortified wine in BC from a “super berry” seldom used in wine. Echo Haskap Farm, operated by Margarita and Igor Valou, calls itself BC’s largest organic haskap farm, with 40 acres of that berry under cultivation.”
