The Anniversary

Whether you love dry sherry and madeira, or have never tried a fortified wine, The Anniversary will surprise and delight. Aged Chardonnay underwent controlled oxidation in barrel for 7+ years, taking on intriguing flavours of nuts and dried fruits. Pair with cheese and nut plates after dinner, or start the evening with The Anniversary over ice and muddled mint. Stable for months after opening.

Zoltan Szabo - 92 Points
Orange marmalade, salted hazelnuts, barley sugar, spicy-smoky, sweet mouth-coating, but balanced, with an inner - mouth leathery note and dried fig finish, like a tokaji sweet szamorodni, down to earth price tag on it, all wine-centric establishments should offer it as an alternative to those much higher-priced, and less interesting, other fortified wines

Wine Profile

Tasting Notes

Displayed in a clear bottle to emphasize its rich, amber color. On the nose, look for an intense aroma of terroir characters of wood, caramel, maple syrup, roasted hazelnuts, pear marmalade. On the palate it bright and hazelnutty with just enough warmth and sight sweetness to give a long finish. Pair with pecan butter tarts, salted caramel ice cream, sharp blue cheese.

Winemaker Notes

Made from Niagara Peninsula grown Chardonnay, then fortified with neutral grain spirit (for purity of flavor) followed by extended natural aging in oak barrels without topping or intervention nor protection from the elements. After extended aging, our winemaker selects and blends barrels to bottle a batch annually. The average aging-time in barrel is 6 years. If it must be compared to a traditional style of wine, it vaguely resembles Madera. At just under 16% alcohol and with a full oxidative style, it remains intact once open for several weeks.
