Gamay Noir
Grapes for this single-vineyard VQA wine are sourced from Kirby Estate in the Niagara Lakeshore sub-appellation. It is a wild burst of fruity red berries in the mouth, best served slightly chilled. Fruit was hand harvested into baskets the last week of October at the peak of ripeness from 26-year old vines planted in sandy loam soils. The berries were hand sorted and 15% whole clusters were preserved to include in a wild yeast ferment and press. The wine was transferred to neutral French oak barrels and aged for 7 months. The results show a cherry red colour exhibiting a raspberry/strawberry nose; with a red berry melange and a soft supple mouth feel on the palate.

This wine is extraordinarily versatile as a patio sipper or paired with a host of foods such as burgers, pizza, wings, nachos or any type of salad.
