3. Gaia: Super Niagara Merlot The Signature Wine of Rennie Estate Winery 2010 Rennie Estate Winery – Gaia Cases Produced: 122 Silver Medal at the 2012 InterVin International Wine Awards. Gold Medal at the 2013 All Canadian Wine Championships “This is pretty exciting stuff, an extravagant wine made in the appassimento style that is gaining favour in Niagara. Rennie enlisted the help of the Vineland Research Centre to perfect a method of drying that slowly concentrates the grapes under perfect conditions. The result is this extraordinary wine that has a meaty, hedonistic nose with layers of highly extracted black fruits, spice and Espresso notes that are revealed in layer after layer. It is big, literally big, at 17% alcohol, but is backed up by a wall of fruit, tannins and acidity to bring it somewhat into balance.” - Rick Van Sickle, Wine Writer, Wines of Niagara Retail Price: $55.00Licensee Price:$46.26

4. G: Super Niagara Assemblage The Signature Wine of Rennie Estate Winery 2011 Rennie Estate Winery – “G” Cases Produced: 65 (92 points) “To make this complicated wine, Rennie picks his Merlot (50%), Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc (both 25%) at 21 Brix. The three varieties spend 70 days in custom drying racks (up to 35% loss of juice) to achieve a sweetness level of 29 Brix. The blend spends 18 months in a combination of new and old oak and is finished at 16.5% alcohol. To be perfectly frank, it’s a big, huge wine, and you need to know that right off the bat. It’s dark, almost opaque in the glass and throws off big aromas of crushed black currants, thick blackberry compote, caramel, oak stylings, vanilla toast, forest floor and dried herbs. On the palate, it’s rich and unctuous with an array of highly extracted fruit flavours including currants, plums, cherries, sultana raisins and bolstered by vanilla-nutmeg-cinnamon spices, earth and medicinal herbs. The tannins are evident, but not overly aggressive. In all, it’s a big, powerful wine with the fruit to stand up to 16.5% alcohol and enough acidity to maintain a modicum of freshness. A wine to hold for a few years to come.” - Rick Van Sickle, Wine Writer, Wines of Niagara Retail Price: $55.00Licensee Price:$46.26

Scarpa:Super Niagara Ripasso-Style Wine 2010 Rennie Estate Winery – Scarpa Cases Produced: 95 Bronze Medal at the 2012 InterVin International Wine Awards “A Ripasso-style Bordeaux blend of cabs sauvignon and franc blended with the skins of appassimento‘d merlot. On the nose, a kind of charcoal/burnt sugar, smoked meat and aged cheese aroma profile (complex, to say the least.) This is a big, beefy wine with all sorts of attitude, peppery flavours and muscular tannins. Could easily handle five years aging or at least two hours of decanting if you want to drink it now.” -Bethany Harpur, Wine Writer, Second Ferment Retail Price: $40.00Licensee Price: $33.60 SOLD OUT

The nose is expressive with black currants, cherry kirsch, Christmas pudding, blackberry liqueur and rousing spice notes. This is all about concentrated currants, red fruits, baking spices, gritty tannins and length through the finish.” - Rick Van Sickle, Wine Writer, Wines of Niagara Retail Price: $45.00Licensee Price: $37.80

Christine Chardonnay Reserve 2010 Rennie Estate Winery – Christine Chardonnay Reserve Cases Produced: 135 Bronze Medal at the 2012 InterVin International Wine Awards Double Gold at the 2013 All Canadian Wine Championships “I was very impressed with the wines but none more so than the 2010 Rennie Wines “Christine Chardonnay” that was produced under your hands-on guidance at Angels Gate. It was truly exceptional and unequivocally ranks among the three best Canadian chardonnays I have ever had the pleasure of tasting.... In a blind tasting, I could easily mistake it for a ChassagneMontrachet from Burgundy – no feint praise! It was truly sensational and will remain, for me, a benchmark of what the varietal is capable of in Canada.” -Ivan Ivankovich, Wine Writer, Western Canada Retail Price:$35.00Licensee Price:$29.38 SOLD OUT

11. Heron Pond Benchland Vineyard-Premium Vineyard Site and Ancient Soils Passing directly through the Beamsville Bench appellation is the Niagara Escarpment, rising to some 335m above sea level. This north-facing cliff formation is the essence of the appellation, providing the slopes and elevations which assist breeze and lake effects to provide benefits to this unique sub-appellation. The constant circulation of off-shore breezes between Lake Ontario and the Niagara Escarpment, profoundly moderates seasonal temperatures across the Bench. In fall, breezes from the summer-warmed Lake waters raise land temperatures and prevent cold air from settling in lower-lying areas, and extend the growing season well into fall. In spring, breezes from the winter-cooled Lake slow down spring warming, holding back the development of fruit buds until the danger of late spring frosts has passed and ensuring an even start to the season. These lake effects create remarkable flavor and aromatics to Bench vineyards. Over the last 200,000 years, the Niagara Peninsula experienced several glacial and interglacial events that eroded and shaped the layers of sedimentary rock and ancient reef structures of the Niagara Escarpment. This extensive glacial history in the region also gave way to complex soil compositions in the area between the Escarpment and Lake Ontario, where thick layers of clay are permeated with limestone, silts and sands.
