Spiced & Round

Husband and wife duo Ilya and Nadia started Leaning Post winery in Niagara over 10 years ago. Initially a virtual set up, the winery now located on Highway 8, has become a reference producer in Niagara.

This blended wine (61% Merlot, 39& Cabernet Franc) always over-delivers massively for the price. Blackberry, cassis, raspberry and mulberry instantly appear on the nose, with lilac, cracked white pepper, licorice and pancetta following closely behind. On the palate, it has a very broad and weighty mid-palate featuring plum, wild-blueberry, and strawberry layered over dark- chocolate and graphite with wisps of herbs-de-provence and black olive fading in and out.

The powerful but soft tannins make it satisfying to drink now with a good decant, but it will certainly age well over the next 5-8 years. Great with burgers, cured meat, and hard cheese.

Harvested on September 25, 2021, the grapes were destemmed, into concrete tanks where it went through a spontaneous fermentation. It remained in concrete and aged on skins for 25 days, then it was gently pressed into clay amphora (17%) and stainless steel (83%). This wine was racked only a handful of times prior to being bottled unfiltered on April 13, 2022.

This wine represents the evolving nature of wine in Niagara. Orange marmalade, jalapeño pepper jelly, and passionfruit dominate the nose and palate, while elderflower honey, cream and lemon dominate the palate with a rich and oily texture. It is all tied together with bracing acidity, gorgeous texture and a seam of fine tannin. Chill and drink as it warms to reveal new facets of its unique personality.

Enjoy with fish tacos or fish and chips.

Domaine du Bollenburg is an independent, family-run winery in the heart of Alsace, with roots dating back to 1887. It was in 1947 however, that the Clos came to the Meyer family, who refocused the estate on producing high-quality wines that honour and preserve Alsatian cultural identity. Situated on Bollenberg - the largest limestone hill in the canton of Rouffach - the vineyard spans 25 hectares, showcasing the unique terroir of the region. 

This Sylvaner opens with delicate botanical and mineral nuances, revealing aromas of dried chamomile, thyme leaves, and a subtle hint of blanched almonds. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied, with the grape’s naturally crisp acidity balanced by soft notes of beeswax and a touch of salty brine. The finish is long and tangy, reminiscent of the elegant, savoury lift of a fine Fino Sherry.

A dry, food-friendly white that shines as an apéritif and pairs well with fish and delicate white meats.

Creamy & Zesty

The vintage allowed Chardonnay to ripen very slowly and evenly, gaining full flavour while keeping the balance of fresh crisp acidity. Immediately on the nose there is a wave of pineapple, lemon-curd, lime- leaf, and apricot pith, followed immediately by sea salt and wet-stone minerality. The palate brings beautiful richness but still balance with white peach, spice, and lemon-meringue mingling with crème fraiche, flint and roasted almond. The finish is silky smooth and exceptionally long but is eventually overtaken by wet-stone and crisp acidity. A truly beautiful example of Niagara Chardonnay!

Pair this wine with meaty fish like halibut or cod. Shellfish including lobster, shrimp, crab and scallops work stunningly with this Chardonnay.

A blend of fruit from 4 different vineyards from the best appellations across Niagara, the 2023 Pinot Noir is the epitome of the Leaning Post style. 2023 was a cool and elongated growing season, and yields were average, making wines of exceptional concentration and acidity. This wine combines classic “P(inot)- funk” flavours of cherry, mulberry, and raspberry with candy-cane beets, earth, leaves and stone. Made in a style that is slightly more approachable than our single-vineyard Pinots, it still shows incredible depth and complexity. The palate in particular shows good fullness and silkiness in the mouth with kirsch married to sugar beet wrapped in fresh basil smashed over limestones! Traces of spice lift the back end of the wonderfully long finish.  The 2023 needs a lot of air, so give it a good decant before
enjoying. This wine will age gracefully for 5-7 years.

Pair this Pinot Noir with smoky glazed ham or easy lentil curry.

Perched atop the Côte de Cadet on Saint-Émilion’s limestone plateau, Château Soutard-Cadet is a small, single-block vineyard spanning just 2.7 hectares. Primarily planted to old-vine Merlot with a small portion of Cabernet Franc, the estate reflects the classic character of Bordeaux’s Right Bank. Its long-standing winemaking tradition was given new energy in 2015, when the property was acquired by the Lefévère family, renowned proprietors of several distinguished neighbouring estates, including Sansonnet, Villemaurine, Moulin de Cadet, and Harmonie. The wines continue to embody the region’s warmth and charm with a dedicated commitment to sustainable viticulture.

Soutard-Cadet pours a deep, inky hue and serves aromatic intensity, giving layers of blackberry, blackcurrant, and delicate hints of tobacco leaf and spice. On the palate, ripe dark fruit blooms alongside finely beaded tannins, lending structure and a refined texture to the plush mouthfeel, which lingers with lasting notes of sweet, spiced preserves.

A classic wine to serve with grilled or roasted meats.

A breakout star in the Etna DOC of Sicily, Tornatore has become one of the region's largest and most respected wineries. Established back in 1865, the estate continues to be run by the same family who have acted as the faithful custodians of the land for generations. Tending to high altitude vineyards on the north side of the active volcano, the conditions are ideal for indigenous grape varieties to thrive. The wines are distinctive bottlings which encapsulate the essence of Mount Etna and effortlessly reveal the unique characteristics that make the region one to watch.

The Zotorinotto Etna Bianco offers whiffs of creamy vanilla, yellow apple, and peach notes, followed by billowing aromas of honey and ginestra flowers - a local plant that thrives in the open landscapes surrounding Mount Etna. Its crunchy fruits and tangy citrus flavours are carried by mineral-laden acidity and a soft, mellow texture, imparted from time spent aging on the lees. The persistent finish highlights this wine's sophisticated and lasting character.

This will be an excellent compliment to tzatziki fish tacos and other seafood fare.

This is our first (and possibly only!?) vintage of Petit Verdot, with the majority of the fruit coming from Grimsby Hillside Vineyard. What an amazing cacophony of fruit and floral on the nose! Mulberry, plum and blackberry hit your senses immediately, followed quickly by lilac, lavender, violet and sage. The palate brings in blueberry and raspberry, with anise seed, sweet basil, cured meat, cocoa, cumin a mossy/brambly character the underpins the whole wine. It is medium bodied, with present acidity and tannins that are full but soft. This wine is perfectly balanced for warmer days and lighter fair in the summer, and yet full enough to match richer foods and cooler evenings. To drink now, either decant or enjoy slowly and allow the wine to unfold for you.

A warm spring and warm summer lead to an uneven and wet fall, however good viticulture and good terroir still allowed these grapes to develop complex aromatics and structure without losing acidity or freshness. The blocks of two different Chardonnay clones: clone 76 and clone 96, were hand picked on October 17th. The clones were kept separate throughout pressing and oak aging. The fruit was whole cluster pressed and allowed to settle for a couple of days before being put into barrel for spontaneous fermentation. Once fermentations were completed, the wine remained in French oak barriques on lees for 15 months. This wine was skillfully blended with the perfect percentage of each clone to truly showcase this vintage, (63% clone 76 and 37% clone 96). We bottled this wine in June of 2023.
