VQA NIAGARA PENINSULA
TASTING NOTESA real crowd pleaser, this unique blend is well structured, versatile dinner wine. Plenty of fresh, young red fruit like strawberry, cherry and raspberry with soft tannin and a clean finish. A weekday wine that will pair well with tacos, pizza and takeout like Chinese or Thai. On the weekend serve with pork burgers topped with Swiss cheese to feed a crowd or enjoy poolside, slightly chilled!
VINTAGE & VITICULTUREA mild winter followed by a warm spring led to an early bud break, raising hopes for an abundant harvest. However, the summer brought some unexpected challenges, including sporadic heatwaves and intermittent rainfall. The careful management of the vines, coupled with the utilization of advanced viticultural practices, ensured the grapes reached optimal maturity. Conditions for harvest were quite favourable, with wineries reporting a broad window of opportunity to bring in grapes. The blend consists of 43% Gamay Noir, 42% Merlot and 15% Baco Noir; wines were made individually and the final blend was crafted after wines completed malolactic fermentation. The fermentation and aging was done in large stainless steel vats and this was done to allow the fruit components to remain at the forefront of this wine.
