STRATUS |
| Very light yellow colour. Fairly intense, spicy, somewhat dusty, lemon-apple puree nose with some very toasty, tropical notes. Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, spicy, tropical, pineapple-lemon-apple puree flavours with a lingering, faintly bitter, finish that has some hints of oak-resin. Tasted once. |

| The 2016 vintage in Niagara was warm enough to give this wine plenty of ripe apple and pear character, to which winemaker J-L Groux added some buttered-toast flourish by ageing the wine 271 days in French oak. It's creamy yet elegant, with a hint of grilled pineapple on the finish. Pair with grilled pork chops and local asparagus. (Vintages panel, May 2018) |
