The 2021 Riesling shows why we get so excited about Riesling from Lincoln Lakeshore! The nose explodes with beautiful lime-leaf, green apple, peach, cumin, and honeysuckle aromas. Those flavours continue on the palate while adding honeycomb, cinnamon, white lilac and the distinctive stony minerality of...
Our goal for our Sauvignon Blanc is to reflect the unique Niagara terroir and this wine always delivers. 2023 was a long, moderate and relatively dry harvest characterized by average crop levels on the vines. As a result, the wines are intensely flavoured but classic...
Our house style of rose is bright and refreshing with the most beautiful colour and great fruit. The nose is so vibrant the red fruits such as raspberry, strawberry and watermelon with savoury notes of white pepper, lemon basil and hints of orange blossom. The...
The 2022 vintage was beautiful, warm and sunny throughout, but with very small yields. As a result, wines are very concentrated with great acidity. The nose of this wine is full of pineapple, nectarine, red apple, and orange blossom followed up with lemon meringue and...

A tricky growing season was balanced by good viticulture and terroir showing why we continue to be excited by this vineyard! Tightly wound and dense, the bright lemon curd is balanced perfectly with wet-stone, gunflint and wisps of meringue. With more air, red apple skin,...
WOW…what else can we say? Especially in such a tough vintage, this is truly classic expression of our Senchuk Chardonnay and hands-down our best Chardonnay of 2021. It is both powerful and delicate in equal measure. Classic, reductive aromas of wet-stone and lemon-curd lead to...
Tasting Notes Imagine dipping a freshly baked lemon/herb croissant into a cloud and you have some idea of how this wine tastes! Extensive lees aging has brought toasty/biscuity, lemon-curd and crème-fraiche to the fore, however orange-zest, green-apple and light floral aromas do eventually appear. A...
Beverage-making Notes Our goal was to recreate the experience of a Niagara Sparkling Riesling, using local, craft, non-alcoholic ingredients. We picked Riesling from Niagara very early and pressed it to make our Verjus (literally translated as “Green Juice”). We then made a small batch infusion...

An amazing growing season has given us a stunning debut for this vineyard! The density, intense body and structure of this wine are stunning. While some of the warmth and richness of the vintage is present, the acidity, and earthy components are still brought forward...
The initial cherry, mulberry and pomegranate are very quickly subsumed by dirt-covered mushrooms, tomato leaf, sweet-tobacco and rare steak. Less floral and more minty than most years, with some air a pronounced pancetta and smoked game meat begins to creep in, backed by cracked pepper...
A big and ripe year that is still balanced, 2020 is the unicorn vintage! The density, intense body and structure of this wine are stunning. The warmth and richness of the vintage is present, however the acidity, and earthy components are still brought forward by...
There is no way around it, this is the fullest and densest Senchuk Pinot yet! Incredible weight, density and structure are the most obvious, however acidity and freshness make the wine still incredibly well balanced. The number of layers seems to unfold endlessly on the...
This blended wine always over-delivers massively for the price. Blackberry, cassis, raspberry and mulberry instantly appear on the nose, with lilac, cracked white pepper, licorice and pancetta following closely behind. On the palate, the warmth and weight of the 2020 vintage is immediately evident, with...
On the nose raspberry, blackcurrant, strawberry and blackberry immediately appear, followed quickly by tomato-leaf, roasted red-pepper, cured meat, cigar-box, cocoa and cumin.
