This wine shows the 'wilder side' of Sauvignon Blanc due to the 'wild yeast' fermentation. 

 

Harvested from Four Mile Creek (95%) and Niagara River (5%) sub-appellations of Niagara-on-the-Lake, only premium free-run juice from Sauvignon Blanc grapes were used for full expression of the fruit. A small portion of the juice was taken out to our on-site vineyard where 'wild yeast' began spontaneous fermentation, then was brought back into the cellars where it was added to the overall blend (the wild yeast assists in building texture in the wine). 85% of the juice was barrel fermented and aged sur lie for 7 months in 100% French oak barrels (new and older barrels) to develop a rich, complex mouth-feel. 15% of the juice was fermented in a concrete ‘Egg’ to enhance mouth-feel and texture, then transferred to barrel for aging.

 

A full-bodied wine with a slightly rich, creamy mouth-feel and just enough acidity on the finish to refresh. Flavours of custard, baking spice, baked apple, sweet citrus and toast develop on the palate. A medley of biscuit, lemon, grass, spice and toasty oak linger on the finish. Best enjoyed now.

 

Serve lightly chilled at 14 to 16°C. A fantastic sipping wine or serve with grilled halibut and a delicate herb cream sauce; goat cheese soufflé; seafood paella; smoked salmon with dill and cream cheese; vegetable tempura; and smoked chicken with grilled vegetables tossed with pasta in a cream sauce.

 

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

91 Points - "A dramatic followup to the gorgeous 2009 vintage. Rich, bold aromas of tropical fruit, grass, sweet herbs, vanilla and wild spices from partial wild fermentation. This is a textured, layered weighty SB with fleshy fruits, concentrated flavours of grapefruit, mango, pear and citrus with exciting herbs and grassy notes in the background" Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, September 13, 2011

This is one of my favourite go-to wines to sip on the deck when the warm weather comes. I just love the crisp Sauv Blanc flavours in this wine.
