Something a little different fromm Orofino - A fizzy red inspired by Lambrusco! Bright and fruity and perfectly suited to accompany dinner party appetizers, or even a holiday dinner. Dry and highly quaffable.
This small production wine gets more attention from wine writers than anything else we make. Why? It’s juicy, fresh, highly gulpable and tastes like the vineyards here in Cawston where it was grown. It’s the real deal. Gold medal at the 2023 National Wine Awards of Canada. *This is a light-bodied, low tannin wine with plenty of acidity!
A co-ferment of elegant Pinot Noir with spicy, juicy Gamay. This delightful wine is meant to be consumed in its youth. Light bodied & fruit forward, with hints of baking spice and great acidity!
Pinot Noir seems to like our site here on the Cawston bench. We blend 5 clones of Pinot Noir from various blocks of vines planted as far back as 1989. This is a wine that is truly made in the vineyard. Classic notes of cherry & spice. No messing around, no fining and no filtration. Silver Medal winner at 2023 All Canadian Wine Championships
Inviting notes of violets, peppercorns, and cherry chocolate. This wine was aged in a combination of 10% new French oak & 10% concrete tank, with the remainder spending time in older or neutral barrels for 17 months. Wild fermented. Unfined and unfiltered. Great aging potential!
This very special small batch wine was thoughtfully crafted and aged in the finest French oak barrels, 30% of which were new. A bit more depth, tannin, structure and spiciness than our other Syrah from this vintage. Gold Medal winner at 2023 All Canadian Wine Championships
