Named in memory of Henry’s wife, widow, and family matriarch, Catharine Smith, this wine is composed from the traditional grape varieties of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to make a Niagara expression of a time honoured wine style. The secondary fermentation is done in-bottle and the wine is aged for up to 36 months on the lees.

• Hand-picked, bunch selected, then chilled for 24 hours.

• Partially filled baskets are hand-placed into the press.

• All juice is press-fractioned to separate the finest cut.

• A small percentage of the Chardonnay is barrel fermented.

• Secondary fermentation in bottle followed by a further aging of up to 36 months on the lees.
