Monarch Red VQA

Monarch Red VQA brings together three distinctive grape varieties—Chambourcin, Lemberger, and Zweigelt—to create an approachable Ontario red with plenty of personality.

Deep red in colour, the wine opens with welcoming aromas of ripe cherry and delicate violet.

On the palate, juicy berry flavours take centre stage, while crisp acidity keeps the wine lively and balanced.
