Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This wine has a delicate but enticing floral perfume with apricot stone fruits, lime zest, and pear blossom on the nose. A lush and oily concentrate comes through across the palate with supple fruit, chalky minerality and lovely florals.
Vineyard Notes
The mild winter of 2023 transitioned into a warm spring, prompting bud break 1-2 weeks early depending on location. However, hopes for an exceptional vintage waned due to one of the wettest growing seasons on record, heightening disease pressure until September. Conditions shifted in September, offering ideal weather for a classic Niagara vintage. Moderate warmth during the day and cool nights, coupled with minimal rainfall, preserved acidity and freshness in aromatic whites and sparklings, while reds achieved optimal phenolic and flavour ripeness with rich colour accumulation, allowing for selective picking tailored to desired wine styles. Overall a classic Niagara vintage across the board for all wines.
Production Notes
The Pinot Gris was harvested from our Claystone vineyard on the Twenty Mile Bench and from our Talon Ridge Vineyard on the Vinemount Ridge Appellation. Subsequent to picking, the juice soaked on the skins for a time prior to pressing and being sent to tank. While this wine was largely fermented in stainless steel, a small portion was fermented in older French oak barrels. Meticulous blending was done prior to bottling to ensure the most expressive and textured version of the wine was showcased.
