Vintage & Viticulture

While the season began with a wet cool spring, summer brought typical temperatures across Ontario. July was particularly warm and sunny with intense heat waves and high humidity. Early-ripening grape varieties escaped the wild weather of late fall and the unusual early cold snap in November. Harvest extended into early December, sometimes taking place in the snow

Winemaker’s Notes

The wine was left on the skins for 8 hours and gently pressed. We then fermented off the skins, using white winemaking procedures, a slow cold fermentation using no oak.

Tasting Notes

Floral aromas of rosemary and thyme blended with freshly picked strawberries.  Flavours of fresh strawberries, raspberries, blackberries complete this refreshing wine. Pair with rosemary pork tenderloin, salmon, shrimp dishes, grilled pizzas or as simple as a turkey burger.
