“Pink”

This wine is jam packed with fruit….. strawberry, melon and citrus. It also contains subtle herbaceous characters (grassiness, spice). Softer tannins from the Cab Sauv help create a slight dry character, which compliments the off dry component to the wine. This effect elevates the wine and makes it more sophisticated. The balance of sweetness with acidity and slight tannin allows this wine to pair well with salads, seafood, soft cheeses, pastas, and grilled food.

Pink is one of my favorite colours. I have a pink bicycle, pink roller-skates, play a pink guitar, run in pink sneakers, and wear a pink sapphire! More importantly, pink is the colour of hope. It is also the colour associated with Cancer awareness.

Being born and raised in the Niagara region, I knew that Cancer was a growing epidemic and concern. We all know someone who is somehow affected by this disease. A dear friend since childhood was diagnosed with Cancer two years ago. I wanted to do something to help. I was able to give her hope, love and support, but I wanted to do more.

Wine is something that I have always had a passion and love for. I studied wine after high school and quickly worked in the Niagara wine industry. Wine symbolizes good life, good friends, and culture. In the bible wine is used to symbolize life. Many years ago it was used for health remedies. So I asked myself “Why couldn’t wine be used today for that same purpose?”……

In early November I approached the Hernder family with the idea to make a wine that could make a difference. A rose, which was pink in colour but also named “Pink” like the ribbon, was created. It would be from the wine I made during my first vintage with the winery.
