2018 Estate Merlot:
Immerse yourself in the 2018 Estate Merlot, a wine that balances depth with approachability. This wine, with its lush berry aromas and a hint of oak, is a favourite among both novices and connoisseurs. As LCBO Vintage product specialist Shelley Hedden says, "A very soft and velvety full bodied mouthfeel … dark plum and dark cherry vanilla with a mild clove on the finish; also light dusty tannin on the finish (which I love)!! I loved it!”. (92) A wine that complements both casual and sophisticated dining."
2020 Reserve Merlot:
The 2020 Reserve Merlot is a testament to our dedication to excellence. This bold wine, brimming with dark fruit flavors and a rich tannic structure, is perfect for those who enjoy a more intense wine experience. Wine critic Tony Aspler praises it "Deep ruby-purple in colour; cedary, vanilla, ripe plum bouquet; medium-bodied, dry, richly extracted and firmly structured, Pomerol style. Lovely mouthfeel with a saline note on the finish. (93) An honest reflection of the Kirby terroir.

The Chardonnay Series: Crispness, Freshness, and Refinement
Kirby Estate's Chardonnays are a testament to elegance and freshness. The 2019 Estate Chardonnay, with its tropical and pear notes, and the expressive 2020 Estate Chardonnay, rich in ripe apple and citrus flavors, embody the vibrancy of the vineyard. These wines reflect a perfect harmony of fruitiness and refined oak, offering a delightful experience to lovers of this varietal.
2019 Estate Chardonnay:
Experience the refreshing elegance of our 2019 Estate Chardonnay. This wine, with its vibrant acidity and subtle oak influence, is a delightful accompaniment to a wide range of dishes. Food and wine writer Tony Aspler comments, "Bright, golden colour with a greenish tint; light toasty, minerally nose of vanilla, apple and caramel; elegant, medium-bodied, dry, lovely mouthfeel with a crisp, lemony finish. (92)” A beautifully balanced Chardonnay, excellent with seafood and creamy pasta.

2020 Estate Chardonnay:
The 2020 Estate Chardonnay continues our tradition of crafting wines that delight the senses. Its blend of fruitiness and complexity makes it both versatile and memorable. Wine critic Rick Van Sickle remarks, "Sourced from the estate’s older Chardonnay vines (25 years old) … There is (remarkably, due to the vintage) a racy vein of salinity on the palate with a complex array of ripe, juicy orchard fruits, bergamot, integrated oak spices and plenty of finesse and flare keeping it lively through a textured finish. (93)” This Chardonnay stands out for its elegance and finesse - a true joy to savor."
