Drinks Farm 2024 "Birthday" Labrusca Nouveau

"This year my birthday falls on Nouveau Day, so for this vintage, I named my nouveau 'Birthday'."

This young, fresh, low alcohol, super fruity, and crystal clear red with a very slight fizz is made with 100% Niagara Fredonia. These particular vines are over 100 years old which describes the historical identity of this grape which was bred in 1915 and was an important piece of our wine-growing history in Ontario. Before vinifera, Ontario was a region that was producing wines only from grapes like these for a few hundred years. It is an honour to make wine from such magnificent and rare old vines.

Carbonic whole cluster fermented in stainless steel. Zero sulphur additions. Unfined, unfiltered, and dry.
