"A nose of apple, melon, pear, citrus and a subtle ginger note. It’s delicious on the palate with ripe baked apple, pear, a hint of spice and a note of citrus zest on the finish” - Rick Van Sickle, Wines of Niagara, May 2017.

Beautiful soft yellow and a hint of effervescence at time of release. Nose is incredibly lifted and wafts intensely from the glass. Pear, pineapple and subtle anise come first, with apple pie and lemon just behind it. Palate is fresh fruit salad, dominated by orchard fruit and nashi pear, finishing with tropical fruit, citrus and banana. Lots of fruit sweetness this year. Great approachability and will pair well with a large assortment of cheeses and lighter meat dishes. Salad too if you’re into that.
