From organically grown vines planted in 1996, this wine has powerful flavours yet a delicate feel similar to other wines grown below the escarpment wall near Beamsville. Rich, smooth and gentle despite its 14 per cent alcohol. Complex aromas of dried pear, custard, anise, woodsmoke and a spice finish. Perfect for rich, creamy seafood. www.malivoirewineco.com.
