Produced in the traditional Champagne method, from 100% Chardonnay grapes from Osoyoos, it has a lovely nose of apple, pear, lemon chiffon and toasty/brioche notes with subtle lime undertones. It is crisp and bright on the palate with a soft mousse that delivers lemon, apple and minerals to go with toasty accents delivered on a beam of racy acidity through the vigorous finish.
Always one of Niagara’s top Rieslings. The highly aromatic nose shows bright lime, apple, ginger, tangerine and lovely integrated wild-honey notes. It has good, tangy fruit on the palate and shows an array of interesting citrus, guava, ginger spice, green apple and nectarine fruit through a lifted, bright finish.
Remarkable, pure and unadulterated raspberry with that perfect edge of tartness for added authenticity, bursting with intensity and juicy acidity for a powerful, long-lasting aftertaste. Try over ice cream, with dark chocolate tart or just as a post-prandial sipper. Fortified.
The remake of a classic, this vintage is a reminder of the wine that first put Tinhorn on the map. Definite rose-petal and tropical notes up front, followed by a lush palate of lychee and ginger spice with a touch of citrus and a spicy hint to close.
Straw colour with a minerally, smoky, white-peach nose; ripe apple and peach flavours and elegant, mouth-filling peach and lychee flavours ending with a spicy note. A lovely mouthful.
A beauty, with typical Prince Edward County minerality and river-rock salinity that melds into swirling baked apple, pear and tangerine with soft spice notes on the nose. It’s a lovely and textured Chard on the palate, rich and broad, with a mélange of citrus, pear and apple fruit and perfectly integrated spice and minerals that are delivered on a long-lasting finish.
A new winery venture from Mission Hill’s Anthony von Mandl, specializing in Chardonnay. Straw colour with a minerally, citrus, apple bouquet; rich, spicy peach flavour with a floral note. Lovely mouthfeel, well-integrated oak with precise acidity, ending on a butterscotch note. The most Burgundian in style of the 5 CheckMate Chardonnays.
