About this winery
Canada’s fruit basket – one of the southernmost parts of Canada - an idyllic little peninsula with a unique microclimate due to the ocean-like Great lakes that surround it. Dolomitic Limestone abounds here - interspersed with clay - giving the wines intense perfume; a rich mouthfeel and a defining iron grip that speaks of the Escarpment where the grapes are grown – the same Escarpment from whence tumble the world-famous ‘Niagara Falls.’

Tasting notes
Carefully selected lots of Gamay are vinified using yeasts indigenous to the vineyard. Of these, 28% are vinified as whole bunches, which contributes to the wine's substance. It is then matured in neutral barrels, minimizing aromatic influence and leaving plenty of room for fruit. A magnificent cuvée that may confuse many, especially at this price! Enjoy with roast chicken.
