IN THIS MONTH’S THREE-PACK:

Explore Prince Edward County with a chardonnay musqué, unfiltered cabernet franc and baco noir from rising star Trail Estate Winery.

2016 Chardonnay Musqué
VQA Twenty Mile Bench
$26

Only 100 cases of this wild-fermented white were produced. Pear and apple on the nose lead to salted caramel and buttered popcorn on the palate. Richly textured with a gorgeous mouthfeel. Sip on its own or with elegant hors d’oeuvres.

2016 Cabernet Franc
VQA Twenty Mile Bench
$40

Black currant, fig, spice and smoke abound on the nose and palate with this dry, refreshingly unfiltered cabernet franc. Beautifully balanced with well-integrated flavours. Pair with Italian meatballs in tomato sauce or savoury bean and lentil dishes.

2018 Baco Noir
VQA Ontario
$30

Black raspberry, cassis and baking spice characterize this earthy, succulent red which is also unfiltered. Well structured with a pleasant finish. Perfect with smoked game meats and wild mushroom wellington.
