The wine region of Niagara River
VQA sub-appellation of Niagara-on-the-Lake bordering the river (red Queenston silty-clay shales, long gentle east-facing slopes, convection-current regulation). Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc are the signature Bordeaux reds — concentrated ripe dark fruits with extended ripening, fine tannic structure. Chardonnay is the signature white, elegant and fresh; Riesling a complement; early budbreak.
The wine region of Ontario
World reference for Canadian Icewine: exceptional sweet wines from grapes frozen on the vine, golden colour, signature notes of candied apricot, mango, honey, citrus and exotic fruits, opulent sugar balanced by taut acidity (Vidal for fruit, Riesling for finesse). Cool-climate still wines: mineral, lively Riesling, precise Chardonnay, fine Pinot Noir (cherry, undergrowth), peppery Cabernet Franc. ~5,500 ha on the Niagara Peninsula between Lake Ontario and the escarpment, VQA.
The word of the wine: Carbonic maceration
Fermentation of whole grapes in a carbon dioxide-saturated atmosphere. This type of fermentation produces very aromatic and flattering wines.
