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 unmistakable: the low-tide sea funk, the oyster shell liquor and flinty minerality mingle with a light lemon-tinged white flower fruit so pure as to be almost (presently) invisible – or at least, we feel we want to talk more about the rock than the fruit flavours! The long finish is of an undeniable pure viscosity. Do WATCH this one. Very possibly the most authentic Foxcroft that has graced our doorstep!
