Creekside Estate Winery

IN THIS MONTH’S THREE-PACK:
An opulent riesling, tropical sauvignon blanc and hearty malbec from Creekside Estate Winery’s exclusive “Under Current” label.

2019 Under Current ‘Breakaway’ Riesling
VQA Creek Shores
$30

Aromatic and abundantly flavourful with stone fruit, candied orange and a touch of honey on the finish. Ample acidity gives the wine a lively, spritzy mouthfeel. Perfect with a Santa Fe salad and grilled Cuban ham sandwich.

2018 Under Current ‘Long Row’ Sauvignon Blanc
VQA Creek Shores
$30

Notes of papaya, passion fruit and citrus are woven beautifully into this small batch gem. A hint of caramelization comes from light barrel aging. Creamy and rich, it’s a match with pork and pineapple stir fry and asparagus risotto with strong cheese.

2016 Under Current Malbec
VQA Creek Shores
$40

Raspberry jam, hints of cinnamon and clove delight the palate in this expression of malbec, a varietal rarely found in the Niagara region. Earthy and herbal with a supple mouthfeel, it’s lovely alongside miso-baked aubergine and lamb rogan josh.
