New Releases

THREE FOR UNDER YOUR TREE
Another year has almost flown. Before we nudge 2007 into the past however, we would like proudly to introduce to you our three final releases of the year. For the wine enthusiast on your shopping list, any (or all) would make a gift that could not be repeated next year. Since all three come from our “Limited Edition” selection, the supplies are short. To arrange delivery to yourself or someone you admire in time for Christmas, please contact us no later than Tuesday December 18th.

2005 Moira Vineyard Chardonnay(250 cases)
Anticipate a gentle, fragrant, layered bouquet offering pear, apricot, pineapple and vanilla. Flavours of cinnamon, ginger, clove and butterscotch adorn a rich texture. The pronounced minerality rewards you with a refreshing finish.
$36.00 a 750ml bottle / $432.00 per case*.

Only 26 cases remain of our 2004 Moira Vineyard Chardonnay.

2005 Moira Vineyard Pinot Noir (90 cases)
Delicate hints of black cherry, mocha, clove and vanilla greet the nose. Look for spicy plum, black cherry, cocoa and cedar on the palate. The finish blends velvety tannins with a minerality characteristic of this vintage. $42.00 a bottle/$504.00 per case*.
Our previous vintage of the Moira Vineyard Pinot Noir drew a glowing review from noted Canadian wine writer David Lawrason (Toronto Life), who commented, "Fine tannin and excellent flavour focus. Score-96". Winemaker Shiraz Mottiar beleives the outstanding fruit from the 2005 vintage has produced a wine that will outshine even the 2004.

2006 Late Harvest Gewürztraminer (90 cases)
Taken from the vine last winter, our Late Harvest Gewürztraminer offers lower sweetness and higher alcohol than icewine. The nose is a mosaic of peach, apricot syrup, banana flambé, baked apple and sultana raisin. Citrusy flavours remind you of clementine and pink grapefruit. $26.00 per 375 ml bottle/$312.00 per case*.

*Prices are expected to change in 2008.

A NEW WINERY EXPERIENCE

Over the past eight years we’ve enjoyed entertaining you at our semi-annual events. Traditionally these have taken the form of a winery tour, where our guests circulate amongst stations of light foods paired with appropriate wines.

Last month we decided to “break in the kitchen stadium” to a group of dedicated Malivoire enthusiasts. We offered two wine and food adventures - six delicious courses paired with Malivoire wines (menus and comments). The dinner on Saturday and the lunch on Sunday, prepared by Beyond Catering, were a huge hit and the winery lent itself stylishly to the atmosphere. The format worked so well that we’ve expanded our Event Schedule at the winery to share our enthusiasm for wine and food pairings.

OYSTERS ON YOUR HOLIDAY BUFFET?

Our 2007 Melon de Bourgogne (known as "Martin's Oyster Wine”) is coming together wonderfully. Unfortunately it will not be bottled in time for this winter’s holiday entertaining. For this reason we have re-released some of the 2006 Melon, which after another twelve months in bottle, is showing lush development. There’s a story behind the 2006 vintage that’s almost as intriguing as the wine.

2006 Melon
$20 per 750ml bottle / $240.00 per case

A NEW VINTAGE AND A NEW LOOK FOR MALIVOIRE

Expect to see Malivoire standing out more boldly among the multitude of labels in your LCBO Vintages boutique. We’ve observed that increasing the variety available to the consumer is a good thing, as long as the consumer looking for a particular product can still find it with relative ease. For this reason, we’ve modified the labels on our main five wines for easier recognition. We’re confident that the simplicity of design and bolder trademarks will reflect the classic Malivoire style while helping our bottles stand out from the crowd.

SENSIBLE
PACKAGING

You will now find an attractive new item bearing the Malivoire mark. We are making available at our winery a durable, high-quality, reusable tote for your carry-home wine. Made of sturdy, un-bleached, un-dyed canvas, it is divided to easily hold four bottles. This furthers Malivoire’s ongoing quest for more environmentally sound, reusable packaging alternatives.
