VQA

Our extra dry, bright Sauvignon Blanc was made with only premium free-run juice to showcase full expression of the fruit. A small portion of the blend was fermented when ‘Wild Yeast’ began a spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeast in the cellar.

The long lingering finish provides flavours of grapefruit sorbet, gooseberry, white currant, lemongrass, and a touch of toasty oak. Serve slightly chilled with grilled halibut, smoked salmon, creamy pastas, quiches and grilled asparagus.

WINE MAKING
Harvested September 23 to October 1 from our long-standing growers in the Niagara-on-the-Lake regional appellation. Only premium free-run juice from Sauvignon Blanc grapes were used for full expression of the fruit. A small portion of the blend was fermented when ‘Wild Yeast’ began a spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeast in the cellar. (The wild yeast contributes to aroma and complexity) A combination of fermentation techniques was performed (both French oak barrels and stainless steel) then aged sur lie for 10 months in 100% French oak barrels (new and older barrels) to develop a rich, complex mouthfeel. Top barrel selection to determine the final blend.

FLAVOUR PROFILE
Clear and bright with a straw yellow hue and a wonderful bouquet of starfruit, passionfruit, grapefruit and subtle oak. This wine shows the 'wilder side' of Sauvignon Blanc due to the 'wild yeast' fermentation. A medium to full-bodied wine with a smooth, lovely textured, slightly rich mouthfeel and well-integrated acidity. Flavours of tropical fruit and gooseberry glide over the palate. The long lingering finish provides flavours of grapefruit sorbet, gooseberry, white currant, lemongrass, and a touch of toasty oak.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
