Once labeled ‘Proprietors’ Reserve’, Black Series celebrates the depth and diversity of our winemakers’ experience in crafting wines that embody the Niagara terroir.

Our Wines Black Series

2010 Black Series <i>Merlot</i>

Our Merlot underwent malolactic fermentation and was aged in French and American Oak for 18 months for complex fruit and vanilla notes, to give you a wine of exceptional quality.

2010 Black Series <i>Sauvignon Blanc</i>

This vintage was crafted by harvesting a portion of the grapes early to preserve varietal citrus notes and refreshing natural acidity, and some grapes at a later date to enhance the tropical flavours, producing an exceptional, balanced wine. This is an excellent example of what a Niagara-produced Sauvignon Blanc is all about.

2010 Black Series <i>Chardonnay</i>

The Chardonnay is aged in French oak for 8 months to develop creaminess and vanilla notes, balanced with citrus and tropical flavours, for a wine of the finest quality.

2009 Black Series <i>Cabernet Franc/Cabernet Sauvignon</i>

This is a complex, easy to sip, full-bodied wine displaying bold aromatics of red raspberry, cherry, eucalyptus and bell pepper. Ripe red fruit, dark chocolate and pepper are abundant on the lingering finish.

2009 Black Series <i>Meritage</i>

Our Meritage is full-bodied with complex red fruit, pepper and leather notes on the nose, with hints of plum, cherry, dark chocolate and spice on the palate. The wine displays a smooth, lingering finish.

2009 Black Series <i>Crisp & Lively White (Riesling-Gewürztraminer)</i>

2009 was an impressive growing season for both Riesling and Gewürztraminer. Very intense flavours of peaches, apricots, ripe lemon and notes of honey. Crisp, long finish at the palate with a soft but intense mid palate, elegant and well balanced with a luxurious finish.

2009 Black Series <i> Rich & Robust Red (Shiraz-Cabernet) </i>

This wine has intense aromas of cherry, black currant, white pepper and raisins. The wine has an elegant balance, with fruity flavours and nice round tannins. It is a luxurious and elegant wine.

2009 Black Series <i>Gewürztraminer</i>

The Gewürztraminer is left on the skins for an extended period and cold-fermented to extract the lychee, spice, and citrus notes, producing a wine of exceptional quality.

2007 Proprietors' Reserve <i>Vidal Icewine</i>

This richly textured wine displays fresh tropical aromas of papaya, mango and apricot. Bold fruit flavours balanced with fine acidity caress the palate and conclude with an exquisite silky finish.
