Meldville Pinot Noir, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Crafted from three of the region’s top varieties in three distinct vintages, this collection of Meldville red wines from iconic winemaker Derek Barnett is the perfect way to explore the best of the Niagara Peninsula in Ontario.
Meldville Barrel Select Syrah, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Syrah or Shiraz? What’s the difference? Fruit led versions of this variety, such as many from Australia, are usually called Shiraz while the more savory bottlings, typical of those of the Northern Rhone, tend to be referred to as Syrah. In Ontario, both grape names are used, customarily indicating to which style camp the wine belongs. Meldville’s expression, from the outstanding 2020 vintage, sings “Syrah” with a meaty, peppery profile complementing its dark berry fruit. A backbone of mouthwatering acidity makes this an excellent food wine. Think pepper crusted sirloin. Less than 4 barrels produced. 2023-2032– LW
Meldville Cabernet Franc, VQA Lincoln Lakeshore
Do the wines of Niagara have the potential to age? Derek Barnett’s wines confirm that they can. With 6 years under its belt, this 2016 Cabernet Franc it is still very much alive. Time in bottle has developed a complex nose with highlights of cherry, strawberry and fresh herb accompanied by notes of licorice, floral and vanilla. The palate also offers the classic reauvigd and green profile expected from this variety, with flavours of raspberry, red currant, rhubarb and spearmint. 10 barrels produced. 2023-2026–LW
