Vineyard Profile: Creekside Estate Vineyard

Immediately bordering the winery buildings on Fourth Avenue and providing a very dramatic (and very tasty) view as you come down the driveway, is the Creekside Estate Vineyard. We like to think of it as the quietly consistent, patient older sibling to our Queenston Road Vineyard on the St. David’s Bench. With about 13 acres under vine, the Creekside site does its thing, year in and year out, with little showboating and few demands. It is, to be honest, a little taken for granted. We expect the fruit to be good — it always has been– so we very rarely worry, fuss, or fret.

Wine Profile: 2008 Pinot Grigio

Look, we’ll be honest…we wish we had tales of struggling ferments, crazy blending trials, and other tidbits of insider information, but this wine all but made itself. Clean fruit, clean careful ferment, clean filtration…just plain clean, crisp, varietally correct aromatics and a really refreshing palate.
