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 the Hanck vineyard on the Twenty Mile Bench, one of Niagara’s coolest and most respected sites. Clay-limestone soils and a lake-moderated climate enhance Pinot Noir finesse. Parcel-by-parcel vinification with careful fermentations, followed by aging in French oak barrels to preserve balance and terroir expression.
Tasting notes
Light ruby color. Elegant aromas of cherry, raspberry, cranberry and floral notes. The palate is precise and fresh, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, delicate finish.
