Our wines are born in our petite lot vineyards, carefully tended by gentle hands, and transformed into a fitting addition to our feasts. Our Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc are hand-pruned and thinned judiciously to produce very low yields of quality grapes designed to complement the foods of the seasons.

(0) Dry(0) Dry, Residual Sugar 3 g/l, Alcohol 12.3%
Swirl the glass and you'll pick up warm hints of crème brulee. Take a sip and the metaphor extends to the wine's silky texture and long, smooth finish. Fermented and aged in French oak for 10 months, our 2010 Chardonnay has a luxurious mouthfeel that's tempered with just the right amount of fresh, fruity acidity (a little green apple, perhaps). Eminently quaffable on its own, this wine will pair well with seafood, cream-based dishes or savoury nuts & nibbles at cocktail hour.

2010 RIESLING – $19.95

|
(2) Off-Dry, Residual Sugar 19.7 g/l, Alcohol 9.9%, Total Acidity 7.4 g/l
At first sniff, the funky, delicious petrol scent hints at the almost unctuous texture of this slightly sweeter Riesling. Richly flavoured with a bit of apple-y tartness to balance the sugars, this Riesling will delight fans of our now sold-out 2009 Medium Dry Riesling. Low in alcohol, it's an excellent tipple on its own, or will pair deliciously with spicy foods.

Fresh and delicate nose of hard pear or quince (with a touch of gooseberry) sets you up for a mouth-wateringly delicious wine. Fermented in a mix of stainless and neutral oak, this wine was stirred on its lees in barrel for three months. The hint of rich leesiness deepens flavour while maintaining the wine's crisp texture.

2012 Betty’s Blend $17.95
(0) Dry, Residual Sugar 5.9g/l, Alcohol 12.1%
The 2012 Betty is a backwards glance from a beautiful stranger, a sultry wink over the shoulder, a wine as alluringly feminine as its namesake.
A delicious blend of 57% Chardonnay, 29% Riesling and 14% Sauvignon Blanc, this wine features a lush nose and round, ripe, stone fruit flavours. There's a pleasing creaminess to the 2012 Betty, balanced by the merest hint of hard candy tartness. Will work wonderfully with fresh spring or summer fare, or on its own.
“Very satisfying nose with ample offerings of fresh apple, mineral, pear and apricot. The palate is a lip-smacking delight with a healthy sloshing of lime. This will be amazing with turkey breast, shellfish, lemongrass chicken, or a summer salad with chopped fresh fruit. Oh Betty, blend-Ba-lam indeed! (VINTAGES panel, March, 2013)”
