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
The nose is lifted and perfumed, showing a combination of bright, pure fruit, with crunchy red cherries and raspberries, alongside fresh herbs and subtle spices. The palate manages to be both light and delicate yet exceptionally concentrated with remarkable energy and intensity to the fruit, along with underlying stoniness that carries the finish.
