Pearl Morissette Primesautier 2020
Four Mile Creek, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaPouring a deep violet / crimson hue, this lemburger comes off Knizat vineyard in Niagara on the Lake. Destemmed fruit was native fermented in concrete, where it remained for 6 weeks before moving to 3000L foudres for 5 months aging on lees. Juicy and primary, with crunchy red currant, tart blackberry, rhubarb on a slight, tight, peppery palate. Tannins are slight and lightly furry, guiding this lighter bodied red to a spiced finish. Take now, with a chill.Tasted: 25 July 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $28.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
