Cuvée Éliane 2019

We created this wine for the first time in 2012 and has been one of our signature wines ever since.  This white fortified wine had a beautiful balance between alcohol, acidity and sweetness.  After about 1/3 of alcoholic fermentation we added alcohol to fortify the wine to 17% and thus stopping the fermentation as the yeasts can’t survive at such a high level of alcohol. The wine is then racked followed by 30 months aging in a neutral French oak barrel and then bottled.

70% Frontenac Gris (Estate) 30% Frontenac Blanc (Estate)

Gold medal, Best fortified wine and Best of show winning wine at the Cold Climate Wine Awards 2024

A rich and complex nose of honey and caramel makes way to some cooked/jammy flavours of peach and apricot on the palate with a very long butterscotch finish.

Recommended with strong cheeses (old cheddar, blue) to start a meal or with desserts (vanilla ice cream with a fruit salad).
