Saignée Wins Gold at WineAlign NWAC24!

We are delighted to share the news that our newly released Saignée 2023 has received a gold medal at the WineAlign National Wine Awards of Canada. Held this year in Niagara Falls, this annual competition features a judging panel  comprised of some of the most esteemed and well-regarded wine critics and voices in Canada. Also awarded was our Malbec 2020, which received an average score of 90 points, earning it a silver medal. Earlier this spring were the European Decanter World Wine Awards and International Wine and Spirits Competition, where our wines shone brightly once again and acheived further world class recognition. Among the awards received were two silver medals for our club-exclusive Viognier 2022 and another silver for the Malbec 2020. 

Here some of the things the judges had to say about these iconic wines: 

Saignée 2023

 "(A) combination of pale southern French meets herbal and crushable... It is delicious." 

 92 Points - WineAlign NWAC24

Malbec 2020 

"Floral and effusive in its aromatic wave crashing like water tumbling upon the shore when the weather is just ideal. Darkest of fruit with expensive wood to result in a big, broad, muscular and serious wine. Rich and intense malbec of great structure for many years if unfurling, unfolding and maturation."

90 Points - WineAlign NWAC24

"Fragrant bouquet displaying aromas of blueberry, blackberry, dark plums, cocoa and pepper. Plush and vibrant, with varietal typicity."

 91 Points - Decanter World Wine Awards 2024

Viognier 2022 

"Restrained aromas of jasmine, honeysuckle, ripe pear, quince and dried lemongrass. Rich palate, harmonious and very persistent."

91 Points - Decanter World Wine Awards 2024

"Vivacious nose of finely delineated orange, pear drops, tangerine and grapefruit. We then have an effortless assimilation of oak on the palate with a mineral vein throughout. Terrifically focused from start to finish."

91 Points - International Wine and Spirits Competition 2024

Many congratulations to our wine-making team and all of the other winners!
