Tasting Notes
J.S. Hamilton White VQA – Pinot Gris Vendange Tardive brings together expressive fruit, oak aging, and a name connected to Canada's historic wine and spirits trade.
Made from
100% Pinot Gris, this Ontario VQA white wine delivers lively flavours of
pear and peach with a hint of sweetness.
Oak aging adds another dimension to a wine that's equally at home beside a rich seafood dinner, a vegetarian pasta dish, or a selection of well-aged cheeses.
At
