Description
The Canadian oak used to craft this wine is sourced from trees grown along the Grand River in Ontario, and the grapes are hand-picked and fermented using wild yeasts. Expect complex suggestions of campfire smoke, pine cone, golden russet apple and yellow plum, and savour the wine alongside grilled pork chops or carnitas with smoky cheddar and apple slaw.

Tasting Notes
Aromas of green apple and ripe pear interwoven with floral notes and caramel precede a palate-bathing wash of tangy lemon-lime acidity and baked apple and notions of baking spice - nutmeg and cinnamon. This is medium bodied with good mouthfeel and persistent purity of fruit, good balance and plenty of pizzazz. Palate replays persist through the finish and aftertaste crisp, clean and refreshing. Remove from the refrigerator 20 to 30 minutes before serving. It sips well on its own and also pours well with roast chicken or pork roast. Drink or cellar. Score - 92.
