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.’

Tim Jackson, August 2019 (Vintage 2015)

Original Pinot Noir vineyard in Niagara, planted in 1983. Very pale ruby. Floral and gently herbal, with some fresh earth and a rich, nutty, toasty nose, with layers and depth. Black and blue fruit beneath. On the palate, liquid stones – lots of mineral sense, with brisk acidity and a linear, focused style. Quite firm, fine tannins and a long, spicy finish. This will develop as the tannins soften out.
