1812 Salute Viognier
During the War of 1812, the Chatham-Kent area was the scene of many hard fought battles. The forces of the British Empire and the Indian Confederation allies fought together to try and stop the advancement of the United States Army. The print “Battle of the Thames” by Edward William Clay, 1799-1857, is featured on the front label.
This special commemorative wine “1812 Salute” pays tribute to those on both sides, who fought so valiantly for their causes and recognizes their brave contribution as part of our local history.
Winemaker’s Notes:
Orchard meets garden in a glass! Tantalizing aromas of peaches and gardenias are balanced with a lush mouth feel and crisp finish.
Pleasant Pairings: Viognier offers intriguing food matches. Spicy Asian fare, grilled seafood and Emmentaler, Colby or Edam cheeses are all happy matches.
