Wine of the Month - February 2012
Colio Estate Vineyards 2008 Gamay Noir 

There is not a large production of Gamay Noir in Essex county and when it does find its way into a bottle of wine it is often used as a blending grape.

Colio's Gamay Noir is Lake Erie North Shore only 100% Gamay wine!

Tasty spice and black pepper notes along with a nice balance of cherry fruits are the recipe for this delicious red wine.

Winemaker’s Notes:
Best served well chilled, this wine is an agreeable companion to spicy or barbecued foods. It is also a beautiful wine to drink on its own on a hot summer day.

Our Pelee Pink is a popular choice during those warm summer months. This wine has been cool fermented (18 degrees celsius) to maximize its fruit flavours.

GRAPES: 85% Chambourcin, 15% Geisenheim

Pelee Island Monarch Vidal 2007 Review

5.00 overall score

Winemaketer Notes:
Crisp and vibrant, this richly textured wine is complimented by flavours of citrus and pear with a nuance of butter. Bold tropical fruit flavours, off-dry, easy sipping style.

These grapes were harvested in the last weeks of September when they had reached 19.4 brix. The maturation period was four weeks in stainless steel tanks with the temperature at a controlled level of 16 Celsius.

While this wine is best served with white meats, you can combine it with just about anything. Best of all, our Monarch Vidal is enjoyed most when paired with good friends, a sun drenched patio, or a candlelit dinner.

GRAPES: 85% Vidal, 15% Geisenheim

ALCOHOL: 12.5%
RESIDUAL SUGAR: 9.4 g/L
