Pinot Noir

• Refined • Elegant • Ethereal

Known to the world as the ‘heartbreak grape’ because it’s notoriously di cult to grow, Pinot Noir ourishes in Ontario’s cool climate, producing many world-class wines. When I was taking my rst wine classes, adjectives such as ‘alluring,’ ‘sensual’ and ‘seductive’ were used in addition to the main aromas of cherry, strawberry and violets one could expect from this variety. After tasting many Pinots within my budget from other countries, it was an Ontario VQA Pinot Noir that gave me my ‘aha moment,’ and I nally understood what Pinot Noir at its nest can be.”
