Red wine
Located in the heart of Niagara on a 175 year old estate, Kew is a hidden gem of Niagara’s wine country history. A true Grande Dame of vineyards, her original 1975 plantings are among the oldest in the region, guiding us in producing exquisite terroir driven wines. Our Soldier’s Grant is a wine that is strong in character and a fitting way for us to pay homage to the Kew family.
| Our 2024 Soldier’s Grant is a medium bodied Cabernet blend, consisting of 35% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Franc and 31% Cabernet Sauvignon. 13% of the final blend was Cab Franc dried out in the appassimento style. On the nose, notes of black cherry and cassis are complemented by a subtle note of violet. Notes of stewed blueberry compote, dark cherry and vanilla bean combine to create a rich palate. Maturing in French and American oak for sixteen months, the finish is incredibly smooth with well-integrated tannin and a nice character of peppery spice and clove. This wine sits on the fuller side of medium bodied but is incredibly easy going and food friendly. |
