Fresh floral aromas of citrus, white blossom, mandarin and lime. Further citrus characters on the textured, mineral palate with a refreshing saline acidity. A zesty, crisp and characterful white with potential to age.
Fragrant aromas of ripe apricot and citrus and more ripe stone fruit on the palate along with a clean, saline minerality and a zesty lemon sherbert character. The style is appealingly off-dry with a well-balanced, crisp finish.

The Riesling Icewine is defined by crisp, lively citrus and white peach notes balancing its impressive sweetness. Fermented in French oak barrels, the Gold Vidal is richer in style with cloves, cinnamon and toast complementing stone fruits and marmalade.

The Cabernet Franc icewine, decadent and festive with sophisticated ripe, candied red fruit, has a lovely tannin structure on the finish.
Appealing varietal aromas of nettle and green pepper balanced by notes of tropical fruit. The palate is vibrant with juicy grapefruit acidity, herbaceous characters and good length.

Bright citrus aromas and a fresh, lively palate with ripe, limey flavours, textural stone fruit and an appealing softness but still the balancing minerality characteristic of this variety.
A ripe and generous style of Sancerre with a real depth of fruit; the crunchy, herbaceous aromatic notes often found in Sauvignon Blanc have been skilfully restrained, allowing fruity layers of green apples and lemons as well as a sweeter note of dried apple rings and a hint of peach to show through.
