Technical Details

This wine represents the evolving nature of wine in Niagara. From a warm vintage, this wine brings distinctly different aromas than previously achieved with this technique and will benefit from decanting for a minimum of 15 mins as the aromatics changed dramatically over this time.

Nose:Elderflower honey, mandarin oranges, lemon curd, sweet Thai basil and lemon grass dominate the nose.

Palate: The palate reflects the nose with additional honey, cream, and lemon building on the palate with a rich & oily texture.

Finish: This wine is held together by bracing acidity, gorgeous texture, and a seam of fine tannin. Chill and drink as it warm to reveal new facets of its unique personality.

Pairing: This wine is stunning when paired with foods that play off the briny characteristics like oysters or anything grilled from the ocean.

“Orange” wine (skin-fermented white) is an ancient technique for making wine and we continue to explore its potential. Harvested on September 30, 2022, the grapes were destemmed, into concrete tanks where it went through a spontaneous fermentation. It remained in concrete and aged on skins for 25 days, then it was gently pressed into clay amphora (35%) and stainless steel (65%) for aging. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulphite additions.
