Winemaker Notes

When the 2020 Single Vineyards are released later this year (November 1, 2022), this wine will rival them for its complexity, drinkability, and even its ageability! Made from 100% Bench vineyards on the Escarpment in Vineland and Beamsville, the impossibly-complex bouquet darts between raspberries, violets, and dark red blackberries, followed by notes of fresh deep-red plums, and vibrant rhubarb; it is rich, velvety and silky with a hint of cherries and vanilla on the long finale. From the single-vineyards of Hanck, Wismer-Parke, Wismer-Parke Wild West End, Saunders and Spencer-Morgan, it delivers the goods we have been waiting for: the rich, hauntingly complex and limestone-mineral flavours of the Bench! Ageing-Improvement Potential: Will improve for 3 to 10 years!

Winemaker Notes

A deft blend (read: obsessed-over) of Gamay Noir parcels from single-vineyard origins, with the expression of the terroir of all-Niagara as its goal … this wine leads us on a dizzy dance combining the deep, ripe fruit and silky tannins of NOTL (Niagara-on-the-Lake) with the delicate perfume and limestone angularity of the best Bench (Escarpment) vineyard fruit. A bewitching nose of rose petals, black raspberry, and smoky cherry jelly. Already incredibly delicious, best from 2023-2025!  Wismer-Foxcroft, Bai Xu, Bator, Willms … all these great terroirs have found their place in this wine that effortlessly marries balance and a slatey minerality, dancing the line between easy drinkability and ageability.

Winemaker Notes

This wine, vinified with 52% whole grape clusters, is the bigger, rounder, richer with thrilling and pure stony black raspberry fruit with bloody overtones. It is the more immediately satisfying of the two Foxcroft Crus, possessing a long and juicy finale that is slightly shorter and more chalkily-acidic than the 33%. If ever there was proof that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” the polemic over Foxcroft 52% Whole Cluster vs. Foxcroft 33% Whole Cluster is undoubtedly just that. In our ad hoc survey over the last two summers, roughly just over half preferred the higher percentage. Still, we find the 33% whole cluster speaks a little more clearly to us about its gravelly, iron-tinged soil origins, and since the taste of the land is what we are all about, we make a little more of that cuvée. Still, it is immense fun to compare them young and wonder about their ageability. Two beautiful siblings. Ageing-Improvement Potential: 2-7 years.
