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.

NOTES FROM THE WINEMASTER:
Pelee Island Winery presents its finest Chardonnay Vineyard. Our Viticulturalist has specially selected his most prized grapes for this wine. Only the highest quality, “free-run” juice – that which flows prior to any pressing – is fermented and aged in oak barrels.

These grapes were picked early on a mid-September morning when the Chardonnay grapes had reached 20.9 degrees brix. The grapes were sent to the winery via the Pelee Island ferry service. The Chardonnay grapes were then crushed and pressed and then transferred to a jacketed stainless steel tank where it is cooled to 15 – 16 degrees Celsius and allowed to ferment.

This Chardonnay makes a wonderful accompaniment to cheeses, seafood and white meats. Whatever you serve this wine with should be as delicious and full of wonderful light flavours as the Chardonnay itself.
