Malivoire News
A MONTH OF DELIGHTS:
Culinary Guests 12-4pm
Each Saturday in November
Those who've enjoyed our traditional fall events will find something
a little different this year. An unusually late harvest means that,
unlike past years, we will still be pressing and fermenting newly
picked grapes through the month of November. Although we're
always proud to show visitors through our winery, these production
demands will make it impossible this fall. That's where “a little
different” comes in. Every Saturday afternoon through November
between 12 and 4 p.m., we will offer you a unique, casual wine and
food experience. No need to call in advance. Come at your convenience, and come to all if you'd like!

The Highly Anticipated Release
of our 2007 Moira Chardonnay
Our 2007 Moira Chardonnay is
everything you've ever wanted from
an opulent chardonnay. Renowned
for producing complex, lush and
age-worthy Chardonnays that have
prompted critics to routinely bestow
scores in the 90+ range, the 2007
Moira Chardonnay is certainly one
of our most hedonistic efforts from
a vintage that has been universally
declared as one of Niagara's finest
on record.
Lifting a glass to your nose
evokes aromas of French vanilla,
butterscotch, fresh pineapple and
baked pear with a hint of smoke
and wet-stone minerality that is a
hallmark of our Beamsville Bench
terroir. The palate is full bodied
and concentrated with flavours
of peaches-and-cream and
well-integrated oak leading to a
long, elegant and fresh, mineral-
driven finish.
2007 Moira Chardonnay Review True to form, our 2007 Moira
Chardonnay is ready to drink upon
release but will also reward the
patient who chose to rest some
bottles in the cellar for the next 5-7 years. Only 120 cases
produced. $39.95/bottle or
$479.40/case.

Old Vines Foch Facts
It's a Fact! Malivoire Wine’s
2008 Old Vines Foch is Here

More great news – the 2008
vintage allowed us to be generous
about the price. Although our
superb 2007 Foch sold out within
weeks at $31.95 a bottle, the new
vintage is being released at a
fetching $24.95 or $299.40/case.

Dark plum-purple in the glass, the
nose of this wine infers plum jam,
raisin, juniper, spice box and
autumn leaves. Silky smooth in
your mouth, flavours point to blue
fruits, dark roast coffee, and vanilla,
leaving a characteristically long,
savoury finish.

2008 Old Vines Foch review

Other things you may not know
about this dark, moody,
intense wine...

Fact: Old Vines Foch is so dark it
can ingest the flame from a candle.
Given time, it can ingest the candle.
Fact: In winery lingo a box holding
12 bottles of Old Vines Foch is not a
“case”. It is (in deference to French army parlance) a “Combat Group”.
Fact: Old Vines Foch doesn't age.
It waits.
Fact: Old Vines Foch has such
density, a bottle launched into
space would shift the orbit of the
moon. A case would realign the
solar system.
Fact: Old Vines Foch doesn't
accompany food. It permits food.

Our 2008 Old Vines Foch is also
notable for its new label and
“Albert’s Honour” designation, a reference to Martin Malivoire’ great
uncle who was awarded the French
Legion on Honour for his heroism
in World War I. Be sure to read the
back label for the full, personal
story from Martin.   » purchase
