Description
Taste your way through three wonder wines from the sensational Henry of Pelham estate in Ontario Canada. The case includes two bottles of each wine described below;
BACO NOIR | If you’ve never heard of Baco Noir, don’t worry, not many people have! Its origins date back to 1894, when French grape cultivator François Baco crossed Folle Blanche with an unknown member of the American Vitis riparia family with the intention of creating phylloxera-resistant vines that retained their Old World French character. At one time Baco Noir was grown in Burgundy and the Loire, but it was gradually phased out of the Old World and has since become one of North America’s more successful hybrids. All quite technical stuff, but the result is sensational! Dry, full-bodied and deep, but still very smooth with rich purple fruit, plums and ripe blackberry before woody notes of coffee and spice begin to emerge. The finish is seriously long with smoky black cherry and more wintery spice. Pair with a roast lamb lunch for some real Canadian decadence.
CHARDONNAY | This is a stunning example of just how good unoaked Chardonnay can be. Very European in style with bright aromatic fruit, clean, refreshing apple, a zing of pink grapefruit and a final flash of lemon citrus all wrapped up with a subtle creaminess on the finish. Perfect serve with creamy pasta dishes and medium strength cheeses.
RIESLING | A true Canadian classic with captivating notes of jasmine, peach, honeysuckle, apricot and blossom before a long, elegant and mineral finish. There is a whisper of sweetness throughout which only adds to its appeal. Just brilliant, and hands down one of our favourite wines here at liquid indulgence. Service alongside a Thai Curry for an explosion of flavour.
