VQA NIAGARA RIVER | 750ML

VINTAGE & VITICULTURE

A mild winter followed by a warm spring led to an early bud break followed by a summer of sporadic heatwaves and intermittent rainfall. The careful management of the vines, ensured the grapes reached optimal maturity.  Conditions for harvest were quite favourable, with a broad window of opportunity to bring in grapes.  

WINEMAKER’S NOTES

After harvest, grapes were crushed and pressed, selected yeast was used for the cold fermentation to maintain aromatics and crisp acidity.  This variety is only grown in a few vineyards in Niagara but continues to impress us as the vines age.

TASTING NOTES

Gracious aromas of honeysuckle, lemon, pear and quince.  On the palate flavours of apple and honey with a bright acidity underpinned by a rich and elegant finish.  Pair with chicken cordon bleu with a side of warm potato salad and fresh herbs like chives or parsley.  Will also pair with ceviche, salad greens with walnut crusted goat cheese and honey drizzle, pad thai or bahn mi.
