Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
The grapes for our new 2008 Jackson Triggs Gold Series Delaine Vineyard Pinot Noir were harvested on September 27, 2008 at 21.3° Brix and reflect the terroir of our Delaine Vineyard in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, renowned for exceptional Pinot Noir, Syrah, and aromatic whites.
Production Notes
This Pinot Noir was cold pressed and cold soaked for two days, fermented at 25-28C for 7 days and underwent extended maceration on the skins for another 15 days. The wine was then barrel aged completely in French oak for 13 months.
Winemaker Notes
This stellar vintage of Pinot Noir is vivid red in colour, and displays distinct aromas of strawberry, cherry and vanilla with plum, cherry and rosehip on the palate.
Food Pairing Notes
Excellent paired with Beef Wellington, roasted veal, turkey or chicken, baked ham, barbecued swordfish or salmon, duck a l'orange or firm cheeses.
