STEEPED IN WHISKY OAK. INFUSED WITH GREATNESS.
This June, get your hands on a one-of-a-kind.
CALIFORNIA SPECIALTY
Cab Syrah (Shiraz) blends are common, but the addition of Zinfandel is a California creation. These popular varietals thrive in Lodi, which tends to grow softer, more fruit-forward reds. Cab brings its signature blackcurrant flavours, ample acid and tannin. Zinfandel adds jammy berries, with Syrah contributing plum and pepper. Together they make a bold wine with abundant berry flavours and rich tannin, making it an ideal base for something a little extra.
STEEPED IN WHISKY OAK
Juice for this limited release was pre-oaked in-house, steeping for several months with Niagara whisky oak chips. During this 6-month steep, the juice absorbs flavours and tannin from the whisky oak, adding roundness to the body, elevating tannin, and infusing it with nuanced sweet spice, brown sugar and vanilla character. These whisky-influenced sweet notes round out a bold wine rich with flavours of blackcurrant, jammy wildberry and plum, underlaid with mocha, spice and smoky toasted notes.
FOOD PAIRING
Try aged cheeses, chicken mole, or bison burgers topped with roasted red pepper and caramelized onions. A great option for beef brisket, spicy sausage, or black bean chili.
Whisky oak is not included in this kit. This product is steeped with whisky oak chips prior to being added to the craft winemaking kit, allowing the juice to absorb flavour from the wood over the course of several months, enhancing its profile. Though this product does contain oak chips and cubes, no whisky oak is included with this kit.
