| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
JACKSON-TRIGGS |
| Bright medium-plus straw colour. Attractive, very gently honeyed, slightly spicy, ripe, yellow-grapefriuit aromas with some slightly toasty,minerally notes. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, well structured, lifted, ripe, lemon meringue flavours with a harmonious, bright, very faintly grassy, harmonious, toast-tinged finish. This very tasty new blend of mostly Sauvignon Blanc awith some Semillon leans in the classic Bordeaux direction (vs. New Zealand’s bright herbal grassiness). The Semillon portion was fermented in used French oak and aged on its lees for 7 months, while the Sauvignon Blanc was kept in stainless steel with lees aging. It has 13% alcohol, 2 g/L residual sugar and 7 g/L total acidity with lot number L240530 on the lower part of the glass bottle. |

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: Inspired by Bordeaux's famous white blends, this Niagara take on the pairing of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon is complex, layered, and richly textured, with excellent balance and fruit presence. Quite lush, with apple, melon, citrus, pear, and tropical fruit. This will drink through 2028+. |
