The Story
Perhaps our least typical cool climate white, we pursue longer hang times with Sauvignon Blanc. This pushes the flavours past the common thiol driven southern hemisphere style into the turpenic range more common in Maritime climates. As a result, melon and grapefruit flavours dominate the palate while honeysuckle aromas fill out the bouquet in this dry white wine. This is supported by soft vanilla notes from partial barrel fermentation and aging in oak. From the Short Hills Bench sub-appellation of the Niagara Peninsula. *Vintage subject to change without notice.
