Détente
White
VQA Ontario, Canada
Riesling
Part of the highly limited Small Batch Series where wines are crafted to be singular and never repeated. This bottling utilizes the innovative Flash Détente technique, which naturally lowers the alcohol level of the wine while perfectly maintaining its structural freshness and aromatic elegance.
Style: Relaxing, fresh, and remarkably elegant. It delivers a lively, low-alcohol profile with bright citrus notes, vibrant acidity, and a crisp, clean finish designed for pure accessibility and drinking pleasure.
Pairings: Ideal on its own as a refreshing patio sipper, or paired with spicy Asian cuisine, fresh sushi, fish tacos, and light summer salads. A fantastic, high-utility choice for wine bars, modern bistros, and casual dining programs looking for an innovative, sessionable cool-climate white.
Wending Home
Estate Vineyards & Winery
Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, Canada
Estate wines from old Niagara vines, crafted for complexity and longevity.
Wending Home Estate Vineyards & Winery is located in the Niagara Peninsula of Ontario, farming the Creek Shores and Twenty Mile Bench sub-appellations. Winemaker Ron Giesbrecht works with old estate vines planted in the mid-1990s alongside fruit sourced from the Cuesta vineyard on the Twenty Mile Bench, farmed by the Wismer brothers. The estate's approach favours slow, purposeful ageing: the Chardonnay spends 18 months on lees in seasoned French oak; the Gamay is aged 18 to 20 months in older neutral barrels; the 'Up Above' Pinot Noir draws from 25-year-old vines. The wines have earned multiple Gold and Silver medals at the Ontario Wine Awards and WineAlign National Wine Awards.
