WENDING HOME ROSÉ  6 VQA Niagara Peninsula

This rosé blends Pinot Noir (53%) and Pinot Gris (47%). During vinification, the Pinot Noir had only brief skin contact while the Pinot Gris was given longer, enhancing depth and intensity. The wine then spent eight months on the yeast lees, which imparted additional complexity and texture. It’s showing beautifully in the glass, with suggestions of ripe berry fruit

and zesty citrus. Easygoing & Fruity 51800 (XD) 750 ml $19.95 1 Featured in Local Talent

CATENA ALTA HISTORIC ROWS CHARDONNAY Mendoza, sustainable

This opens with aromas of dried apricots and salted lemons, lifted by a floral note of chamomile. The palate is medium to full-bodied with tension, subtle salinity and pleasant fleshiness. A blend of fruit from the Adrianna and Domingo vineyards, this is a deeply comforting chardonnay combining a generous texture with incisiveness. Drink now.
