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.’

Parlons accords : le gamay est super polyvalent. On le suggère souvent à l’apéro avec un plateau de charcuteries, mais il peut aller bien au-delà et s’accorder autant avec un steak qu’avec du poisson grillé. J’ai justement vécu l’expérience dernièrement en partageant ce superbe gamay canadien de Bachelder autour d’un steak sur le grill et d’un tataki de thon, accompagné de sushi. C’était divin.
