Tasting Notes

Our goal for our Sauvignon Blanc is to reflect the unique Niagara terroir and this wine always delivers. 2022 was a warm, long and relatively dry season characterized by small crop levels on the vines. This left us with low volumes, but very intense wines with fantastic natural acidity. Very intense tropical aromas of pineapple, passionfruit and mango lead to kiwi, lemongrass and lime-leaf on the nose.  The palate has bright acidity matched by a creamy texture, with key-lime and starfruit battling with passionfruit for supremacy, while lemongrass and honeysuckle stand back and watch.  The finish is the most surprising, with the flintiest, most “wet stones in a mountain stream” minerality we have ever seen on our Sauvignon Blanc! Drink now or over the next 3 years. Enjoy with pan-fried halibut, fresh pesto & anchovy-paste pasta, or lemon & herb roasted chicken.

Winemaking Notes

Our 2022 Sauvignon Blanc was harvested on September 30, 2022, and gently pressed into a stainless-steel tank; where it settled for two days before being racked off lees.  We chose to inoculate with a selected yeast and fermented at a very cool temperature to preserve its freshness and beautiful aromatic.  After fermentation, this wine was split into two different vessels for lees age: a portion of wine was transferred into 3 neutral French oak barriques, and the remaining wine stayed in stainless-steel for 7 months. We bottled this wine in April 2023.
