Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Pinot Noir from the Niagara Peninsula in Ontario, Canada. The fruit comes from 3 separate vineyards
Taste Profile: This wine combines classic P(inot)-Funk flavours of cherry, blackberry, and raspberry with beetroot, earth, leaves, and fresh potting soil. The palate echoes the nose with delicious notes of cherry, beetroot, and earthy notes. Made in a style that is slightly more approachable than their single-vineyard Pinots, it shows incredibly supple mouthfeel, medium body, and balanced acidity frame exceptional intensity of flavour, all leading to a long, sweeping finish ending on a decidedly mineral & crunchy note
Winemaking Process: Hand-picked and hand-sorted, each vineyard was fermented separately with a portion of the grapes being whole-cluster pressed (25%) and the remainder de-stemmed (75%). The grapes were left to soak on skins for 2-3 days prior to fermentation. The skins were punched down by hand 2x per day for 3 weeks. The wine remained on skins for 3-5 days after fermentation before being gently pressed. After being transferred to French oak barrels (25% new, 25% 1-yr. old, 50% older) to be aged for 15 months, the 2021 Pinot Noir was bottled in April 2023
Easy drinking red wines with bright fruit aromas and low tannins. The wines are often released without much aging in tank, oak barrels or bottle, and are meant to be drunk early
These wines typically can be nejoyed without food, and are usually served cooler. They can be light bodied wines like Beaujolais, or light extraction styles that do not emphasize tannin & color extraction

Founded in 2019, we were bored with the typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Amarone & Moscato offerings at most bars & restaurants, and were inspired to dive deeper into the wine world!
