2020 Vintage

 

Winemaking Notes
Harvested on September 11 th, 24th and October 6 th from 3 different vineyards.  The majority of this wine was fermented in concrete tanks, with the remainder fermented in 228L Barriques and a 500L Puncheon and stainless steel.  Once fermentation was complete, all the wine was aged on full lees in concrete and stainless steel for 9 months.  After lees-aging, it was racked, lightly filtered and bottled on August 15, 2021.

Tasting Notes
2020 was a beautiful, warm vintage that cooled perfectly at harvest, creating wines that are both full-flavoured and balanced by fresh acidity. A nose of peach, pear and honeydew is immediately subsumed by lemon meringue, crème fraiche and graham cracker. The palate drives forward lemon curd, honeysuckle and hazelnut with a slight flinty, wet stone background that leads to an unusually rich and weighty mid-palate.  There is a lovely sweep of acidity that brings the wine around to an incredibly long, complex finish.  This wine will age well for the next 5-8 years.  Enjoy with brie, sole meuniere, and lemon-roasted chicken.

Shiping

When it comes to shipping, our goal is to find the fastest and most reliable shipping option available to us. During the Covid pandemic, we have made significant changes with our delivery partners to serve you better.

For Toronto deliveries we primarily use Fil Delivery. They have been tremendous and we have had glowing reviews from customers. They update you on the expected delivery time throughout the day to ensure satisfaction. Deliveries leave the winery Mondays and Thursdays for delivery Tuesdays and Fridays.

For deliveries to Hamilton, Burlington and Niagara, winery staff often deliver same day or next. We aim to please as often as possible!

ICS is also used for Major Centers other than Toronto and local. Their delivery times are typically next day from pick up at the winery on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Out of province and small-town Ontario deliveries are packaged appropriately with slow-release heat packs in winter reduce breakage and freezing through CanPar. We review shipping daily to identify issues before they arise. We do our best to help communicate any issues in advance to get the wine to you as quickly as possible.

We offer free shipping to anywhere in Ontario with purchase of 6 bottles or more. Purchases of less than 6 bottles can be accommodated for $10 flat rate. Please call the winery to arrange.

All other provinces: $25 flat rate

Returns

We believe in simplicity, so our refund policy is simple and to the point.

  • If you’d like to return an unopened bottle of wine, we’ll gladly do so for you. No questions asked.
  • If there is a problem with the wines (either a fault or it is not to your liking - which happens very irregularly), we happily provide a credit for the full amount on another bottle at the winery. For delivered wine, we issue a credit to be applied to your next purchase.
  • Our goal is to make you happy and if there is anything that we can do to maximize your enjoyment of a Leaning Post Wine... we will do it.
