Discover the grape variety: Pinot noir
Elegant reds, light in colour with silky tannins, showing strawberry, cherry and raspberry aromas, evolving to forest floor, mushroom and spice with age. Fresh acidity, delicate finish. Star of the Côte d'Or (Romanée-Conti, Chambertin, Volnay), pillar of Champagne (Blanc de Noirs) and signature of Oregon, Central Otago and Sonoma Coast. An early-ripening Burgundian variety, one of the world's greatest.

The wine region of St. David's Bench
Prestigious sub-AVA of the Niagara Peninsula (105–145 m, limestone soils, Escarpment shelter, early spring warming, cold-air drainage): Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are kings in Bordeaux and Burgundy styles — mature and refined profile preserved by extended growing season, renowned dry wines. Gamay as complement, Riesling and Cabernet Franc for icewine thanks to cold autumns; one of Ontario's most highly regarded terroirs.
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: Malolactic fermentation
Called second fermentation or malo for short. It is the degradation (under the effect of bacteria) of the malic acid naturally present in the wine into milder, less aggressive lactic acid. Some producers or wineries refuse this operation by "blocking the malo" (by cold and adding SO2) to keep a maximum of acidity which carries the aromas and accentuates the sensation of freshness.
