This autumn, wrap up some gems from Ontario vineyards. These new selections and customer favourites show what local winemakers do best: transform the finest grapes into beautiful wines worth sharing.
Creekside Cabernet Merlot VQA
From one of the oldest, largest barrel cellars in Niagara, this red is dry and full-bodied with ripe, intense flavours of dark berries and coffee. Well-balanced and structured, it's wonderful with braised lamb shank or grilled beef steak, and a sure-to-be-appreciated gift.
Lily Sparkling Wine VQA
This new sparkler from Ontario's well-known Colio Winery makes an ideal host gift. With expressive flavours of citrus, green apple, and a hint of apricot and stone fruit, it has a refreshing finish with zesty mineral tones. Serve with oysters on the half shell or other seafood.
Georgian Hills Ida Red Frozen to the Core Apple
Made from naturally frozen Ida Red apples from Ontario's apple belt, this sweet treat has an expressive nose of applesauce with sprinklings of cinnamon and nutmeg. Juicy in the mouth, with cider notions playing about the edges and a long, spice-kissed finish. Serve nicely chilled with cheddar cheese, warm apple pie or tarte tatin.
Malivoire Gamay VQA
Thank the cook who laboured over your dinner by giving then an acclaimed local red. This one has rich red fruiit flavours and traces of mint. Food-friendly, ripe, juicy and refreshing with red berry and pepper notes. Gamay is a classic with turkey, and delicous with roast beef.
