Visited Stratus Vineyards on Saturday March 5th with a group of IWEG Drinks Academy participants in the Ontario's Brave New Wine series of Special Courses.
Stratus is a relatively new winery in Niagara-on-the Lake founded in 2005 by David Feldberg. The Stratus team is executing the winery vision to produce wines of outstanding quality right in their backyard in Niagara.
It is all about sustainability and high quality. They produce the best possible wine ,only limited quantities from grapes grown on their 62-acre estate. There are 17 varieties of grapes in their vineyard ,7 white and 10 red.
They provide the range they need to make distinctive "assemblage" wines !
We have tasted 3 whites , 3 reds and one Special Select Late Harvest Cabernet.
I have find of exceptional quality heir flagship white ,fruity and crispy, 2013 Stratus Chardonnay ( Barrel Sample) Harvested October 2-3,2013, 307 days in French oak, 13.4% Alcohol and their flagship red 2012 Stratus Red Bordeaux style ( Assemblage: 29%Cabernet Sauvignon,26% Cabernet Franc,26% Merlot,13% Petit Verdot,3% Malbec, 3% Tannat) 622 days in French oak, 13.8% alcohol as well as the 2013 Stratus Special Select Late Harvest Cabernet paired with dark chocolate from a local producer.
