Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Aromas and flavours of strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, vanilla, mocha, chocolate, leather and toasty oak balance well with the crisp acidity and light tannins at the finish. Best serving temperature 16 - 19 C
Winemaker Notes
A finessed yet enriching Niagara Merlot fashioned from grapes grown primarily at the home farm and crushed in open bin fermenters. Maturation for 15 months preceded the assembly of a nine barrel blend of predominantly seasoned oak with two thirds French oak barriques. The wine was bottled under screw-cap with minimal treatment to ensure retention of finest flavour and intensity.
Food Pairing Notes
Pink roast beef, roast duck, grilled short ribs and three-year old cheddar
