Heirloom Vineyards was born in the 2000 vintage, when a young winemaking student caught the attention of an experienced wine judge—an unexpected spark that grew into a shared vision. Together, they made two enduring commitments: to honour the best of old-world tradition and the heritage of their cherished vineyards, and to champion superior clones of each variety planted in the most suitable sites, all while embracing organic farming principles. After seven patient vintages of experimentation, refinement, and unwavering dedication, they finally crafted a wine worthy of being passed on to future generations. This is that wine.
A lifted bouquet of mulberry, cassis, and ripe blackberries opens the nose, followed by shades of dried tobacco leaf and pencil shavings. The palate is marked by a striking balance of dark berry freshness and a meticulously structured tannin frame. Subtle oak notes of sarsaparilla complement bright spearmint accents, all dovetailing seamlessly into a long, sapid finish.
Given this wine’s structure, it shines alongside richly textured, succulent meats. Think pork ribs, a classic Scotch fillet, or a high-quality butcher’s sausage - always a fine match for Cab Sauv.
