Nova Scotia’s unique, lightly spritzy aromatic crowd pleaser shows floral and tropical fruit character with a discernable Muscat note on the nose. Flavours though, suggest ripe yellow fruit with apricot, pear and a hint of pineapple. Lively off-dry finish offers subtle elements of mineral, honey and refreshing acidity.
Great varietal character here; one of the best Gewürz from Ontario I’ve tasted; medium straw colour with a nose of lychee and rose petals; off-dry, floral and spicy.
Inspired by “Edelzwicker” and “Gentil” blends of Alsace, this year’s version kicks up the Riesling (38%) proportion to balance the Gewürztraminer (43%), Pinot Auxerrois (14%) and Pinot Gris (5%). Fresh, fragrant aromas and flavours of honeysuckle, grapefruit, tropical fruit and lingering mango. The lively acidity balances the honeyed sweetness and rich, intensely-fruity mid-palate. Perfect with Asian-style pork or duck dishes.
First impressions are a clean briny nose backed by fresh apple and citrus aromas. The 22% Chardonnay Musqué also brings out bright aromatics and honey notes. The unoaked treatment ensures lively mouthfeel with vibrant minerality, while the 80% malo-lactic fermentation contributes a smooth texture and buttery cashew notes. Long honey-lemon finish. Solid choice for a variety of seafood dishes.
A blend of Pinot Noir, Gamay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Gris. Deep pink colour with a nose of strawberries and raspberries. A hint of residual sweetness is mitigated by tangerine acidity. One of the best rosés I’ve tasted from BC.
One of the best Chardonnays I’ve tasted from BC. Straw coloured with a spicy, minerally, green pineapple and lemon nose, medium to full bodied, Burgundian style. Rich and mouth-filling with a touch of vanilla oak (beautifully balanced) and a long, fresh acidic finish.
This red companion to the Connect White is a quaffable mix of cassis, herbs, cherries and pepper. Soft tannins and an easy drinking personality add to its allure.
