100% Sangiovese from their Bellezza estate vineyard. Medium-plus ruby with garnet rim. Spicy nose with lots of toast and vanilla. The full-bodied palate is rich, spicy and concentrated with dark-fruited flavours, but tannins need time to integrate. Its freshness bodes well for cellaring over the next 10 years.
Though described on the label as a Red Ale, it is more gold/amber in the glass, showing lively floral, fruity and fresh malty aromas. Robust full-bodied dry malt kicks in on the palate with a bitter hoppy finish. Hearty, characterful brew.
This wine starts with a deep red colour and then leads into a huge bouquet of cassis, blackberry, raspberry, mocha, coffee and vanilla. The palate is nicely concentrated with a replay of the fruit found on the nose as well as hints of mint and spice. The finish is long, with the plummy tannins giving enough structure to age a decade.
This wine has graduated to the LCBO Vintages Essentials program. Rather easygoing, this Chardonnay features moderate aromatics in the form of peach, toast, apple, pineapple and anise. It is a carbon copy on the palate, with minerals and a slight nuttiness. Very good length and ready to drink.
This Pinot Grigio was sourced from vineyards in Pedernal and Tulum Valley in San Juan, and created in a tribute to the 100th anniversary of the winery, founded 1870. Bright, clean and cushioned with a veil of fine lees, this streams along the palate with meadow grass, green apple and grapefruit, to a shorter, warming, grapefruit-oil finish. Chill this lean-bodied white and enjoy with prawns.
Clear, pale silvery-yellow. Medium-intensity nose of gooseberry, nettles and lime. Light-bodied with more gooseberry and lime, and also grapefruit nuances. Drink up.
Made from 100% estate grown Pinot Noir, with lifted red berry notes, hints of wild strawberry and cherry, bright acidity with some elegant Pinot hints on the juicy, refreshing palate.
