• The 2021 Rosehall Run Vineyards ‘Hungry Point – Estate Grown and bottled’ Pinot Gris was sourced from 100% Pinot Gris that was harvested in late September under ideal weather conditions allowing retention of good acidity and structure before frequent bouts of rain started in October. This wine was barrel fermented on lees in 500L neutral French oak puncheons for 6 months prior to assemblage and bottling. This wine was one of the great successes of the 2021 vintage.

Lifted alluring aromas of almonds and nectarine intertwine with blood orange and citrus peel. It sports creamy mouthfeel, structure and plenty of palate flavours with Mirabelle plum, ripe pear and plenty of racy tang riding a streak of passionfruit and lemon curd from twist top to last drop. Clean, crisp and refreshing. Give this a go with a sushi platter or crab cakes or line-caught pickerel; A.K.A. walleye. (Vic Harradine)

Winemaker’s Notes: A harvest marked by frequent rain changed and our usual plan to harvest our pinot noir grapes for rosé first and estate grapes destined for JCR last was flipped in 2021. This resulted in light yet wonderfully complex Pinot Noir fruit ideal for rosé with lively berry notes—a benefit of the additional hang time. To help balance the lightness of the Pinot Noir fruit, we added a portion of estate Pinot Gris that had extended lees contact, building some extra structure and depth into the vintage. The eventual blend of the finished wine is 80% pinot noir/20% pinot gris. The aging was done entirely in stainless steel and put into bottle after only six months to preserve the freshness of the fruit flavours.

This elegant, vintage-dated beauty gives up aromas of green apple, caramel and yeasty notes. It forms a formidable mousse when poured and gives up a delightful stream of fine-bead bubbles in the glass. Flavours of sugared baked apple and poached pear interlaced with racy lemon zest capture the palate on entry and make their way with excellent balance and persistent purity of fruit to the back palate. It finishes with flair and more of the same. This is a stylish sparkling wine to offer guests as a welcoming wine and to continue on to be poured with hors d’oeuvres and light mains. (Vic Harradine)

There’s nothing ‘loveless’ about this aphrodisiac. Aromas of strawberry and yeasty notes waft easily from the glass before a surge of bubbles and flavours—red cherry/berry strawberry fruit intertwined with tangy ruby red grapefruit—bathes the palate.

• The fruit for the following 2021 Vineland Estates Winery was sourced from select vineyards from premium sites in the Niagara Peninsula from primarily cabernet franc fruit. Drink over the next 10 to 12 months. This carries residual sugar at 6.4g and almost the identical number for titratable acidity. Serve well chilled and taken from the kitchen frig 10 minutes before pouring and serving. We tend to serve white wines right out of the ‘too cold’ frig rather than removing from the ‘too cold’ frig 10 or so minutes before service, allowing the aromas and flavours to develop in the wine glass for the imbiber.
