This wine represents the evolving nature of wine in Niagara. From a cool vintage, this wine brings distinctly floral and bright aromas and can benefit from decanting for a minimum of 15 mins as the aromatics change dramatically over this time. Elderflower, honeysuckle, and mandarin oranges, dominate the front of the nose, but with more air, honey, lemon curd, sweet Thai basil and lemon grass all eventually appear. The palate is rich and textured. It is all tied together with nice acidity, gorgeous texture and a seam of fine tannin. Chill and drink as it warms to reveal new facets of its unique personality.

“Orange” wine (skin-fermented white) is an ancient technique for making wine and we continue to explore its potential. Harvested on October 7, 2023, 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 (31%) and stainless steel (69%) for aging. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulphite additions.
