description
Harvested from four separate sites in the Niagara Peninsula, each site contributing layers of complexity to the wine. Cold maceration of 7 days, indigenous yeast fermentation with two punch downs daily. The wine was pressed in small batches in a traditional basket press. Aged in 228L French oak barrels for 9 months. Natural malolactic fermentation, bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimum sulfur.
2015 proved to be an excellent growing season in the Niagara Peninsula, with exceptionally high quality fruit. The resulting wine has generous red fruit notes on both the nose and palate, with more subtle complex aromas and flavours of earth, floral and dark berries. The palate shows both lightness and tension, giving way to a long, lingering finish.
