The goal with our Sauvignon Blanc is to reflect the uniqueness of Niagara terroir – this wine shows it in spades!

Nose: Very intense tropical aromas of pineapple, passionfruit, and mango lead to kiwi, lemongrass, and lime leaf on the nose.

Palate: The palate has bright acidity matched by a creamy texture, with key lime and starfruit battling with passionfruit for supremacy. Lemongrass and honeysuckle poke through in the background.

Finish: The finish is surprising, with the flintiest, “wet stones in a mountain stream” minerality ever seen in our Sauvignon Blanc. Drink now or in the next 3 years.

Pairing: Enjoy with pan-fried halibut, fresh pesto and anchovy paste pasta, or lemon & herb roasted chicken.

Reviews: 91 PTS Rick Vansickle - Wines in Niagara

2023 was a warm, long, and relatively dry season characterized by a return to normal crop levels on the vines. This resulted in very intense wines with fantastic natural acidity.

Harvested on September 30th, the grapes were gently pressed in stainless steel tank and allowed to settle for 2 days before being racked off lees. After being inoculated with a selected yeast and fermented at a very cool temperature in order to preserve freshness and aromatics, the wine was split between 2 different vessels (neutral French oak barriques & stainless steel tank) to be aged on lees for 7 months.
