David's Block Cabernet Franc 2021, Tawse Winery

Tawse Wine & Spirits is a family-owned organic winery and distillery situated on the lower slopes of the Niagara Escarpment. Founder Moray Tawse, inspired by his love of Burgundian Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, purchased 6 acres on the Cherry Avenue property in 2001, and in 2005 he opened his state-of-the-art winery complete with a geo-thermal system and wetland bio-filter. Since then, Tawse has become a four-time winner of the Canadian Winery of the Year award and grows grapes in five estate vineyards on over 100 acres across the Niagara region. They now produce 30,000 cases of wine and have one of the largest portfolios of organic wines in the Niagara region.

Tawse is focused on uniting traditional winemaking techniques with state-of-the-art technology to create terroir-driven wines of exceptional elegance, depth and character. Their fruit is harvested from old-growth, low-yield vines and gently handled using natural gravity flow and geothermic energy. They proudly apply rigorous organic methods to every aspect of their production from grape-growing to winemaking and EcoCert seals appear on all wines made from their estate fruit.

We invite you to visit our winery, discover our portfolio of fine wines, and meet the people who have helped us earn the reputation as one of Canada's most acclaimed wineries.
