ERIC PEARSON WINEMAKER’S NOTES

While the season began with a wet cool spring, summer brought typical temperatures across Ontario. July was warm and sunny with intense heat waves and high humidity. Early-ripening grape varieties escaped the wild weather of late fall. After harvest, Sauvignon Blanc grapes were crushed and pressed, and then the wine was made in a Fumé Blanc style known for its smoky, flinty notes and rounder texture compared to the crisp, unoaked Sauvignon Blanc. This wine spent nine months in oak barriques including French and American.

TASTING NOTES

An elegant expression of Sauvignon Blanc with subtle oak and vanilla aromas on the nose, complemented by bright grapefruit and citrus zest on the palate. The creamy texture and vibrant acidity create beautiful balance, making it a perfect match for seared scallops, lemon herb chicken, or creamy goat cheese risotto.
