Excellent served alongside classic Bistro fare, grilled or roasted poultry, red meats, game, lightly smoked meats, and semi-firm cheeses. Unlike many wines made from Gamay, this powerfully structured version will reward cellaring for up to 10 years with a cornucopia of new aromas and mellowed textures.

WINEMAKING NOTES

Sourced from Niagara Peninsula Vineyards, Sandstone, our top Gamay, is selected from new and seasoned French oak barrels after 12 months of aging. The grapes were harvested in mid- to late October. They were crushed and destemmed before cold soak, followed by alcoholic fermentation and maceration in stainless steel over 30 days. After pressing, the wine was transferred to a selection of French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and ageing. The wine was lightly fined and filtered prior to bottling in January 2026.
