This wine originates from our Estate vineyards in the western stretches of the Niagara Peninsula, where onshore breezes from nearby Lake Ontario slowly desiccate Riesling grapes in late autumn. Further concentrated as they freeze on the vine with the onset of winter, these clusters yield a golden nectar with an impeccable balance of sweetness and acidity.
Sweet and light bodied; luscious up front with piquant acidity and dried papaya fruit; the acids build in the middle, melding with rich, luxurious flavours of spiced pear, preserved peach, white raisin and lemon marmalade; a penetrating streak of salinity brightens the wine, tapering into a clean, vivid finish of passion fruit, lime and pineapple, tinged with notes of dried dates, clove and crème brûlée.

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.
