Wine of the Month - March 2010
Aleksander Estate Chardonnay 2008

I can't help but think about how busy it must be at local wineries in the month of March as I enjoy this Chardonnay. Prunning is well underway as the wineries wonder what will be in store for the 2010 vintage.

Aleksander Estate Winery has been producing a lovely Chardonnay and this 2008 is no exception. I tasted this wine last May shortly afer it was bottled. It was quite good then and seems to be really improving as it sits in the bottle. Wonderful citrus notes greet the palate. There is a nice balance of acidity and sugar making this a nice quaffer.

Aleksander's 2007 Chardonnay sold out without much notice. If you haven't tried this one yet, get it before it's gone.

Muscedere Vineyards Rosé 2008 Review

Wed 17, Jun. 09
1 Reviews
0 Reviews 4.8 overall score

Winemaker’s Notes:
Our 2008 Rosé was made by siphoning off juice from the Cabernet Franc must after twelve hours of skin contact and prior to fermentations. The twelve hours of skin contact slightly taints the juice which gives it a pink colour.

Enjoy this wine in the summer sun as a cocktail or with light appetizers and salad.

Hand-harvested on September 18th, 2008
Total production: 110 cases.

Winemaker’s Notes:
This blush wine is blend of raspberry dessert wine, apple and Vidal. It is a great little summer wine mixed with soda or for those who enjoy a sweet table wine. This wine complements the taste of spicy food or strong flavoured meats and cheese.
