A Best Buy |
| Inspired by the oaked Sauvignon Blanc wines of Bordeaux and Pouilly-Fumé, Hidden Bench uses estate fruit from the Rosomel Vineyard in Beamsville Bench and ferments the wine in oak barrels. Look for orchard fruit and herbaceous notes with a gently toasty undertone and a nice mineral quality, and pair the wine with cedar-planked trout. |
