This wine originates from our Cave Spring Vineyard, nestled on a hillside of the Niagara Escarpment overlooking Lake Ontario, known as the Beamsville Bench. Along these gentle slopes, the combination of limestone-clay soil, elevation and moderating onshore breezes gives rise to a Gamay of elegance and refinement that will benefit from bottle age.
Brilliant medium garnet. Aromas of red cherry, cassis, forest floor, licorice and sage leaf over top scents of toffee, mincemeat and strawberry compote. Medium bodied and firm in structure; dry and grippy up front with cranberry undertones; the mid-palate seamlessly melds densely packed, fine-grained tannins with extracted blueberry and tart cherry fruit; the finish is forceful yet elegant, driven by a feathery dusting of tannin, juicy red currant notes and hints of orange essence, molasses, Thai basil and peppermint.

Cave Spring Vineyard
For Cave Spring Vineyard, the compounding effect of four decades of carefully considered decisions has earned the winery the reputation of a proud pioneer, brave enough to try new things, and patient enough to await the rewards revealed with every passing vintage.Their evolution was guided by the selection of the cool-climate varieties to the rigorous commitment to sustainability, the utilization of exclusively indigenous yeasts and neutral oak in the cellars, and the constant crusade for more demanding industry standards.
Recalling the joy his father and son had found tapping into their rural Italian roots to revive a small vineyard in the 1960s, John Pennachetti Sr knew that the original abandoned orchard set against the Niagara Escarpment’s limestone cliffs had the potential to be something so much more for his family. Today, more than four decades after John and his sons took a chance and planted some of Niagara’s first Riesling and Chardonnay vines on that plot of land, Cave Spring Vineyard serves as a constant reminder of the good things that can happen when the past is honoured in forging a new future.
