2017 Chardonnay Renaceau Vineyard
Price: $25.00
Availability: In-store, Online
Tasting Notes: Ripe, vibrant and textured, this is a Chardonnay you can really sink into. Sourced from our Beamsville estate (planted 2003), the 2017 summer was cool, helping us preserve natural mouthwatering acidity. Pear driven on the palate, with toasted oak, vanilla and baking spice notes.
Suggested Food Pairing: Sage Brown Butter Sauce Butternut Squash Ravioli
Food Pairing: Ripe fruit, acid-drive yet silky buttery Chardonnay with brown butter butternut squash ravioli? Sounds dreamy.
2017 Praxis Cabernet Franc
Price: $40.00
Availability: In-store, Online
Tasting Notes: 2017 Praxis Cabernet Franc was picked on November 9, 2017. After extensive hand sorting, the grapes were transferred as whole clusters into stainless steel tanks. After carbonic maceration had started, the tank was opened and the ferment was punched down twice a day. The wine was aged on skins for a total of 44 days, before draining the free run and transferring to neutral oak barrels. After 24 months, the wine was transferred to stainless steel tanks for natural clarification on fine lees for an additional 3 months. The wine was bottled on March 16, 2020 without fining or filtration. With proper cellaring we expect Praxis to evolve for over the next 15+ years.
Suggested Food Pairing: Cab Franc x BBQ
Food Pairing: You really can't go wrong with anything off the BBQ (or Southern style bbq). Natural char and grill marks compliment this big and bold Cab Franc's heft 15.9% natural alcohol. It's a match made in heaven.
