Karlo Estates Estate Pinot Noir VQA Prince Edward County
Typical Pinot aromas shine through with wild strawberries and other red fruits. Pale in colour, it has intense aromas and a palate showing great poise and balance. Grapes were handpicked under perfect harvest conditions and fermented in small bins with punching down of the grape skins 3-4 times a day. It was matured for 11 months in old French oak barrels. The oak is perfectly integrated, and the wine has a long lingering finish.
Karlo Estates Estate Malbec VQA Prince Edward County
A light- to medium-bodied Malbec with intense spices, cooked and raisined fruit aromas with a touch of leather and tobacco. On the palate, a sour cherry character is prominent giving freshness followed by a bitter menthol and leather finish. There are only two acres of Malbec in Ontario, and these are all to be found at Karlo. It was matured for 19 months in a blend of American and French oak.
Karlo Estates Triumvirate VQA Ontario
A concentrated dense wine with a firm structure, this has the potential to cellar nicely. Made from three varieties – Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon – each was harvested, fermented and matured for ten months separately before creating the final perfect blend. Grainy in texture, with some tart acidity, and coconut flavours on the finish.
