A crisp, nuanced Chardonnay with judicious use of oak barrels. Aromas of zest of Meyer lemon, apple skin, and river stone. On the palate pear, mandarin orange, lemon curd with a clean minerally finish.

The 2023 Hamilton Russell Pinot Noir is characterized by ripe red fruit, including raspberries and cherries, with subtle earthy and spicy notes.
Coloured with golden reflections, its nose has sweet, floral and fresh almond aromas. It combines freshness with tenseness and spicy notes on the palate.

A dry, fresh & delicious with aromas & flavors of apples, fresh lemons & minerals. Full-bodied. Precise. White pepper & salt at the end. 40% chardonnay & 35% pinot noir, the rest pinot meunier. Three to four years on the lees.
The Vidal Icewine has intense aromas of mango, apricot and honey, beautifully integrated with flavours of peach and candied brown sugar, held together by crisp bold acidity.

Deep ruby with a jeweled appearance, pure with framboise & lavender wildflowers. Medium to full-bodied, with great structure, it’s beautifully pure & persistent, with notes of fresh pine & wildflowers as well as a great finish.
The wine appears ruby red in the glass and opens with a complex aroma of ripe red cherries, raspberries, violets, and a hint of forest floor. The taste is full-bodied and harmonious with fine tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, mineral finish.
Savoury undertones on the nose of game and meaty notes over ripe black fruits, violets and hints of aromatic herbs and warm spices. Delicate, elegant, with a distinct wood framed palate of mocha.
The nose reveals fresh red fruits with a touch of brioche. The first sensation is reminiscent of biting into a perfectly ripe Morello cherry, bursting with full and mature aromas. Powerful, yet remarkably subtle with an extraordinarily long-lasting finish
