Pearl Morissette Primesautier Lemberger 2022

ETHOS:
In this parcel of Niagara, we honour authenticity in everything we do. In wine, in food, and in life. There is no dogma. There is no premeditated outcome.We take a pragmatic approach in seeking what nature has intended. Which is why these wines are based less on what we do,  and more on what we don’t do.

VINEYARD: WINEMAKING THAT IS SO CONVENTIONAL IT HAS BECOME UNCONVENTIONAL.
We don’t imitate. We don’t emulate. Through a process of exploration and experimentation, we produce limited quantities of quality wine that reveal the beauty of our Niagara wine region. Like any craft, a great discipline is knowing when to do nothing at all. With this in mind, we remain very hands-off with low levels of intervention. Our job is to guide the wine as opposed to fixing the wine. Our grapes are carefully hand-picked solely on the basis of skin maturity. This approach enables each grape to impart its unique character in every glass.

Wine Notes: Explosive, lush and indulgent - three of at least a hundred adjectives we can reel off about this Lemberger, Cab Franc and Merlot blend. Either way, there's little point in beating around the proverbial bush - this is a satiating wine of immense pleasure. The waves of spicy dark fruit on the nose and the palate are both powerful and ebullient. The mouthfeel is glossy and creaseless with an energy that pulses through the wines in bursts of hedonism. It is a truly unapologetic bottle with a distinct and original character and we have our new best friend - Lemberger - to thank for it.
