Brilliant copper colour. On the nose you will find apple crisp, rose hip, maraschino cherry, pear and honey-almond. Promising acidity and taut/muscular body awakens your tastebuds to flavours of sour cherry, lemon zest, crab apple and vanilla with a long, finish.

Winemaker's Notes
This wine was made from pinot noir grapes from our organically farmed estate and Moira vineyards on the Beamsville Bench. The grapes were hand harvested between September 24 and October 2 at an average brix of 21.1, titratable acidity of 8.5g/L and pH of 3.4. Clusters were destemmed, then cold soaked for 48 hours before a gentle pressing. This pink juice was fermented with an aromatic yeast in stainless steel. No malo-lactic fermentation occurred. This wine was then aged in neutral oak for 5 months. Fourteen cases were bottledon June 25, 2007.
