Canadian Cassis, NV

Tasting Notes

A rich, deep purple in the glass. On the nose: blackcurrant jam, spice and earthy notes. The palate is rich and sweet with lots of refreshing acidity that brings balance.

Cassis is best served chilled. Ideal with fresh fruit dishes, creamy desserts or drizzled over ice cream. Use with sparkling wine for a wonderful aperitif. A summer refresher with lemonade.

Winemaker Notes

In order to preserve the fresh fruit characteristics in the finished wine, the fermentation is stopped with the addition of certified Canadian neutral spirit, leaving some residual sugar. The fruit macerates for three to four weeks in stainless steel tanks, after which it is pressed and sweetened, prior to bottling.

Residual Sugar: 182 g/L
