I am a sucker for good Alvarinho, and this one certainly delivers the goods. Peach, apricot, lime, apple, mineral and floral qualities are framed by fresh acid and great length. Pair with sushi or chilled shellfish platters.
Made from traditional apples such as Gravenstein, Golden Russet and Northern Spy, this cider is finished by adding freshly pressed apples to add colour and fresh apple flavour. It offers aromatic scents of honeyed ripe apples with gentle fizz, lightly sweet apple flavours, balancing dry grip and an off-dry finish.
Clear, medium-deep plum red. Fairly intense nose of raspberry and violets, with some oak. Light-bodied, tastes of sour-cherry candy. Will last another year.
Straw yellow. Wet wool and white fruits in a subtly oaky style. Good acidity; a lot of roundness in the middle palate. Slightly tart finish. At 5 years of age, the wine is mature; its components have melted.
There is a beautiful floral note on the nose that leads to quince, lime, honey-dipped peach and subtle ginger and lime. More river-rock minerality and a lovely texture on the palate work well with the range of white flowers, succulent peach, grapefruit, lime-ginger and wild honey notes that all benefit from freshening acidity on the finish.
This Niagara wine is straw-coloured with a complex nose of oak spice, forest floor, apple and vanilla. Full-bodied on the palate, it offers spicy, toasty pineapple and citrus flavours with a lively spine of acidity that gives the wine good length and is a great match for salmon steak or roast chicken.
Vivid, dense violet-purple colour. Lively, fresh, spicy, plummy, black cherry nose with some cedary notes and a hint of black pepper. Dry, medium-bodied, well-structured, spicy, tangy, youthful, fruity, raspberry and plum flavours with a lingering, crisp, gently cedary finish with a hint of mocha-chocolate.
