WINEMAKER PROFILE
Derek Barnett – Winemaker
Derek was winemaker and business partner at the famed Lailey Vineyard, with wines found on the best lists. He was named “Winemaker of the Year” at Southbrook by The Ontario Wine Awards. The first to use Canadian oak barrels, he favours traditional methods and his highly-trained palate. 2015 was when Derek became winemaker at Karlo and was named “Wine Person of the Year” by the National Capital Sommelier Guild.
Spencer Mayer – Assistant Winemaker
In 2017, Karlo hired Spencer Mayer. Spencer had practical experience in the fine food and beverage industry and in previous harvests with several wineries, most recently, Benjamin Bridge. This was augmented by his top standing at Niagara College in their highly-regarded school of Winery & Viticulture. Spencer set out to practice under Derek Barnett and to do so with Prince Edward County grapes.
