"Connect White is 100% Vidal made from organically grown, purchased and estate fruit. The nose shows quite ripe peach/cantaloupe fruit, with floral, honeyed character - more complexity than any non-late harvest Vidal I can remember. It's medium weight off-dry, a bit soft yet bright and fresh. At only 9% alcohol, it carries itself with refreshing delicacy despite the ripe fruit character. Very good length with a lemon and peach finish". - David Lawrason, WineAlign.com
"Vidal grapes. Straw coloured; pear with a light floral note; well extracted, light-bodied, off-dry apple and pear flavours, touch of sweetness in mid palate, clean fruit flavours, fresh acidic finish". - Tony Aspler, The Wine Guy
"The white Connect is made from 100% Vidal grapes from estate and grower certified organic fruit. It's a low alcohol wine (9%) and shows lovely peach, citrus and fresh tropical fruits. It's fruity and fleshy on the palate with ripe flavours for every day drinking". - Rick Vansickle, Wines in Niagara

In the Cellar
Sourced from two vineyards, Southbrook (certified organic and biodynamic) 67% and Palmira Vineyard (certified organic) 33%.
Each vineyard lot was fermented in stainless steel using indigenous yeast. Gentle, cool handling was used throughout all processing steps to minimize the impact on the fruit and retain a fresh wine profile.
