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
‘Pure-fruited pears with minty peaches and citron-zested lanolin here, a lovely white floral perfume with a suave touch of citrus vanilla. Born on the very shores of the sea-like Lake Ontario*, you can smell the saltiness; the lemony subtlety -the most incredibly-tight Laundry that we have borne witness to! Again, there is a pure stone-fruited mintiness about the nose that attracts and holds the interest here: Light; fresh; digestible... yet a hidden future that I am not quite sure I understand. The Lakeshore is palpable: the lime-zest minerality is broad; the wine is simply delicious, undoubtedly the BEST Laundry that we have borne witness to!!!" Thomas Bachelder
