Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
The grapes for the 2010 Gold Series White Meritage were harvested on September 10th and 21st from D'Antini, and Delaine in the Niagara Peninsula.
Production Notes
This wine is an assemblage of two classic grape varieties, Sauvignon Blanc (80%) and Semillon (20%). There was extended skin contact for 4-6 hours and cold fermentation with selected yeasts. This wine was 100% oak aged in French oak barrels for 6 months; 25% new French oak.
Winemaker Notes
This elegant wine displays aromas of succulent melon, grapefruit, and pineapple. These lively fruit flavours are also expressed in perfect balance on the palate with a soft, creamy texture and refreshing finish. The unique mouth feel is achieved through the harmonious combination of the varietals and the barrel aging process.
Food Pairing Notes
This wine pairs beautifully with fresh oysters, bacon wrapped scallops, lobster, poultry and pastas in cream based sauces, fresh goat's cheese, salads, or a rich feta.
