Sourced from their Naramata estate vineyard and picked from 2 acres planted with Yellow Muscat grapes. Smells like a grape. Tastes like a grape. So, it must be … a Muscat grape, which is why owner Heidi Noble calls it “The Pure Grape.” It’s very fresh, fruity, juicy and spicy too. I call it “Muscat love.”
An attractive nose of grapefruit, lime, some tropical notes and beautiful minerality. It’s electric on the palate with pulpy lime, ginger, mango and river-rock minerality with a touch of wild honey on the finish.
The “Grand Cru” of the Clos Jordanne portfolio is a full-bodied and layered offering with waves of peach, pear, apple, citrus, honey, hazelnut, toast and spice. The palate is dense, yet refined, with an underlying current of minerality as well as fresh acidity. Ready to drink. A triple-cream brie or roast chicken stuffed with mushrooms would be sublime with this wine.
Always one of Niagara’s star Riesling Icewines. Peach, apricot, lime, apple juice, pink grapefruit and smoky minerals are all in play. The tension between the sweetness and acidity is brilliant, and there is sublime length. No need for dessert with this beauty!
An excellent Gew with a nose of lychee, tropical fruits, cloves, nutmeg and ginger spice. It has good weight on the palate with notes of tangerine, grapefruit, a range of spices with length through the finish. It’s quite ripe, but finishes dry.
A punch in the nose by lychees and roses. Coats the mouth with orange blossom water and Turkish delight flavours. Long, complex, clove-laden finish. The moderate level of acidity and alcohol balances well with the richness of 15 g/L residual sugar, hence its Alsatian Grand Cru‒like styling. Pairs brilliantly with rich pâtés and cheeses.
A gorgeous nose of bright citrus, ginger, a floral note and a mineral component that you don’t find in a lot of Niagara-on-the-Lake Rieslings. It’s rich, yet tangy on the palate with citrus rind and grapefruit, complexity and layers of minerals and spice. Should age beautifully.
