Tawse Winery

IN THIS MONTH’S THREE-PACK:  

Tawse Winery spreads holiday joy with a curated trio of sauvignon blanc, pinot noir and cabernet franc reserve wine.  

2019 Grower’s Blend Sauvignon Blanc  
VQA Niagara Peninsula  
$27.15 

 A lifted tropical note distinguishes this wine; papaya and pineapple play alongside tart citrus, gooseberry and minerality. Crisp and dry with a racy acidity, it’s a natural pairing with goat cheese tarts or shrimp and basil risotto.    

2017 Quarry Road Pinot Noir 
VQA Vinemount Ridge 
$29.15

Red and black berry fruits are accented with earth and smoky notes in this rich pinot. Aged 16 months in French oak, the wine is bold on the palate with ample tannins yet a silky mouthfeel. A lovely match for roasted pork with herbs and fennel.  

2017 Grower’s Blend Cabernet Franc 
VQA Niagara Peninsula 
$36.15 

This luxuriant red is the perfect partner for earthy, fall cuisine. Plum, strawberry and hints of tobacco carry through the palate into a long, smooth finish. Pair this structured wine with grilled vegetable pizza or orecchiette with sausage and chicory.
