Cellar Door Fall 2023

Enjoy these wines with some classic fall comfort foods!

Corrine’s Food Pairings:

BLANC DE BLANC NV WITH:

Roasted Cauliflower and Cashew Curried Bisque with Tahini Cream

This is a sparkling that should be enjoyed every day! When paired with the soup it brings out the delicate curry flavours while leaving flavours of lemon curd and fresh pastry on your palette. The acidity is bright and the cashew cream creates a richness in the wine.

RESERVE VIOGNIER 2021 WITH:

Roasted Pumpkin Pizza with Pumpkin and Ricotta Cream, Caramelized Onions, Brie and Orange Oil

This pizza recipe was made just for the Viognier! The orange oil brings out lots of orange peel and tangerine flavours in the wine. The brie and pumpkin marry well with the weight of the wine leaving lots of warm spice and vanilla on the finish.

CABERNET MERLOT 2021 WITH:

Mushroom Panzanella Salad with Beef Tips, Truffle Dressing and Whipped Goat Cheese

The mushroom and beef panzanella salad softens the tannins in the wine while bringing out lots of dark chocolate and soft smoky flavours. The goat cheese softens the acidity while complimenting the oak. Flavours of raspberry, cherry and baking spice mingle into an elegant, yet jammy finish. This wine is a perfect fall sipper!

RESERVE MALBEC 2020 WITH:

Lamb Riblets and Wild Rice Salad with Dried Blueberries

The wine shows lots of wild blueberry, violets, cocoa and spice when enjoyed with lamb riblets. The wild rice salad is a perfect side to any meal and is delicious paired with the wine on its own.
This Malbec will pair with any grilled or smoked dishes and loves a touch of heat!

Blanc de Blanc NV

Tasting Notes

The nose is fresh with aromas of green apple, lemon, lime zest and mineral with notes of cream and fresh dough. The mousse is fine with a creamy mouthful, refreshing acidity and flavours of green apple, confit lemon, blanched almonds and wet stone. The finish is structured and refreshing with lingering minerality. Certainly perfect to drink now but will further develop complexities through short to medium term aging.
