NEW WINE release

The summer of 2017 was cool and rainy, leading to great acidity in the crop. The fall was warm and sunny, resulting in exceptional flavour development. Sourced from Twenty Mile Bench and the Beamsville Bench appellation, known for producing world-class Riesling. The 2017 Riesling is crisp, characterized by electric acidity with flavours of Meyer lemon, white grapefruit, tangerine and subtle minerality on the finish.

This Chardonnay shows generous apple and poached pear notes. The wonderful citrus intensity is balanced by pleasant undertones of stone fruit. Great weight that remains vibrant and crisp throughout with its bright minerality and natural balanced acidity. A wonderful fresh mouth-feel that ends with a touch of cream on the finish.  Good length and a lovely texture.

Reflective of our distinct cool-climate Niagara terroir from selected premium low-cropped vines, our barrel fermented 2017 Chardonnay has been aged in 100% French oak.  With gentle spice and bright stone fruit, a slight creaminess gives way to juicy acidity perfectly designed for aging.  Our Chardonnay was hand-harvested and crafted with gentle, meticulous care.

An amazing Old Vines Chardonnay.  Hand harvested, whole cluster press, racked to barrel with full solids for texture.  We watched this wine develop into an incredible example of what is too be expected of a cool climate Chardonnay.  Great acidity throughout makes this wine an excellent candidate for the cellar.

90 points – David Lawrason

Fermented at very low temperatures, this Riesling is intensely aromatic.  In the glass there are lovely aromas of green apple and spiced pear, rich with Escarpment minerality.  Juicy acid balanced by some residual sugar, resulting in a round slightly citrus note in the mid-palate with a substantial finish that presents itself this side of off-dry with beautifully balanced acidity.
