Chalice
$37.50
Chalice is a deep and aromatic dessert wine exhibiting lush flavours of hazelnut, caramel, molasses, and sweet butterscotch. On the palate, the texture is viscous and rich although the wine is not cloyingly sweet. Being vinified in old oak barrels and baked in the sun for six years oxidized and concentrated the wine, giving it a sweet tawny texture and a high alcohol content.
Winner of a double gold medal at the All Canadian Wine Championships and lauded in Spain at a gathering of Port, Sherry and Madeira producers.

Grapes left on the vine for the November-January season combined to create a gorgeous dessert wine.
VINIFICATION
Vinified in old oak barrels that baked in the sun for six years oxidized and concentrated the wine, giving it a rich tawny texture and a high alcohol content, not unlike Madeira.
TASTING NOTE
Deep and aromatic with an inviting nose of tropical sun-dried fruit, candied ginger and orange peel with dates, figs and toasted hazelnuts. Refreshing on the palate with hints of candied lemon-lime and sun-dried fruit marmalade that turn nutty on the finish.
PAIRING SUGGESTION
Enjoy as a chilled aperitif or at room temperature as a digestif. Black forest cake, pecan pie or a group of friends compliments this decadent wine extremely well.
