Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This rich and elegant Shiraz displays white pepper and red fruit on the nose, with flavours of red berries, pepper, and mocha. With grapes that are gently pressed and barrel aged for 16 months, the resulting wine is a skillful example of our winemakers’ depth and diversity of experience in crafting wines that express the essence of the Niagara terroir.
Vineyard Notes
The grapes for the 2009 vintage of our Silver Series Shiraz were harvested on November 11th and November 12th from the Delaine, Braeburn, and Koop vineyards located in Niagara-on-the-Lake at 20.5º Brix.
Production Notes
This wine went through 4 days of cold maceration; it was then fermented using select yeast and went through fermentation/maceration for 19 days. The wine was subsequently barrel aged for 16 months in both French and American Oak barrels, where malolactic fermentation took place.
Winemaker Notes
Our NEW Jackson Triggs Silver Series sets the benchmark of excellence with renowned wines of extraordinary character. We craft small lots of our Silver Series wines from select grapes in special vineyards, to yield wines that promise exceptional quality, varietal character, and great value in the $15-$20 price point.
Food Pairing Notes
Ideal to sip on its own, or paired with barbecued pepper steak, roast duck, butternut squash risotto and aged hard cheeses.
