Bachelder
Pinot Noir "Les Villages" Niagara
2023
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.’

Product notes
From selected vineyards across the Niagara Peninsula, benefiting from a cool climate moderated by Lake Ontario and diverse soils that enhance Pinot Noir expression. Vinification involves careful fermentations, with partial whole-cluster use depending on the vintage, followed by aging in French oak barrels to preserve finesse and purity of fruit.
Tasting notes
Light ruby color. Delicate aromas of cherry, raspberry, cranberry and floral notes. The palate is refined and fresh, with fine tannins, lively tension and a precise finish.
