Simply an intriguing variety that has captured the imagination of Ontario vintners. With a cool climate influence, this rendering harks of Northern Rhone as apposed to The Clare Valley (Australia). The majority of the fruit was sourced from the Lincoln Lakeshore appellation with light augmentation from the Niagara River appellation region. Garnet in appearance, this wine is fairly austere with white and green pepper notes, mocha and freshly crushed red current aromas. Balanced acidity, this is the perfect food pairing wine that sings with blackberry and cocoa nuances with a dusty undertone of subtle earthly tannins all culminating in a pleasant lingering finish.
