Winemaker's Notes

Composition:  56% Cabernet Franc, 36% Gamay and 8% Pinot Noir.  Pressed from grapes grown specifically for this wine, picked as grape sugars averaged 19.7° Brix

Brightly scented of strawberry, raspberry, crab apple and watermelon; the red berry notes carry to the palate, interspersed with bursts of candy apple and pomegranate.  The crisp, fresh structure holds through a lingering, cherry-tinged finish. 

The berries were destemmed, crushed, and sent to tank.   The mixture of crushed grapes and free-run juice cold-soaked for between two and twelve hours before pressing.  Cold-fermentation and stabilization were completed in stainless steel before bottling in January 2022.


Dry: 3 g/L residual sugar According to the LCBO Sweetness Code: No sweetness perceived; well rounded with balanced acitity.

At the time of bottling, alcohol measured at 12%, residual sugar 3 grams per litre, titratable acidity 6.1 grams per litre and pH 3.45.

Vegan friendly.

Alluring aromas of watermelon, wild strawberry and orange peel marmalade provide segue to a barrage of palate flavours with pie cherry and red currant juxtaposed with taffy apple and a notion of spun sugar. It finishes tangy and with oodles of pizzazz to and through the lip-smacking finish and delightfully sharp with Montmorency grapes on the aftertaste. Pour on its own or serve with roast chicken, a deli board or pan-seared Atlantic salmon.
