Named in memory of Henry’s wife, widow and family matriarch, Catharine Smith. Clonal selection and the use of traditional grape varieties (Chardonnay & Pinot Noir) makes this wine a modern Niagara expression of a time honoured wine style. The secondary fermentation is done in bottle and each wine is aged for approximately 24+ months on the lees before disgorging.
Winemaker's Notes
• Made from the blending of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir
• Grapes were hand picked and bunch selected. Gentle whole cluster pressing
• Secondary fermentation was finished in bottle followed by a further 30
• Able to develop for 2-3 years but intended for drinking upon release
