Winemaker Notes
Made
from 100% Bench vineyards on the Escarpment in Vineland and Beamsville, the impossibly complex bouquet darts
between violets, classy, perfumed raspberries, and darker blue cherry-pit amaro fruit. On the palate, we
have intensely fruity, iron-tinged mineral flavours with notes of anise. It finishes long and slately-clean,
with even a hint of cherried vanilla. From the single vineyards of Hanck, Wismer-Parke, Wismer-Parke Wild
West End, Saunders and McNally, it delivers the goods we have been waiting for: the rich,
hauntingly-complex, limestone-mineral flavours of the Bench! It may be at its best from
2024-2029.
