Alvars comprise a small percentage of the Earth's ecosystems by land extent; although some 120 exist in the Great Lakes region, they comprise only 0.2% of the land area there. They provide a natural habitat for many rare birds, butterflies, plants and trees. The hop tree is one of them. A rare tree found in such Alvars along the shores of Lake Erie.
A subtle wine with lemon peel and tropical fruit aromas. Lively with a rich palate and long finish. A superb food wine!
