The 2017 Blanc de Franc is a unique and exciting sparkling wine. Made in the traditional (or Champagne) method, it was created from 100% estate-grown Cabernet Franc. As there was no skin contact, the wine is a very light straw in colour. For this release, the bottles were disgorged after 776 days on lees. Subsequent releases of this vintage continue to age on the lees. There was no addition at dosage, as only the same wine was used to replace the lost volume.

Our 2018 vintage proved to be an exceptional year for Chardonnay, as ripeness and flavor came with outstanding acidity. The Niagara Peninsula VQA designation is due to a small portion of the fruit being sourced from Niagara-on-the-Lake. Whole cluster pressing and careful yeast selection was followed by cool fermentation to boost the aromatics. Lees were retained with the wine during aging to build texture.

Only .64 tons per acre were harvested from our 20 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, as the vineyard was still recovering from the harsh winters of 2013 and 2014. The very low yield and intense character are immediately evident in the color of this wine. Deep and dark, the color is indicative of the concentration of character and flavor.
