Fruit for this Reserve bottling was sourced solely from 25 year old vines from two distinctive areas of the Butler’s Grant Vineyard on the Twenty Mile Bench, in Vineland, ON. Following a gentle press, the juice was fermented in both stainless steel (66%) using a cultured yeast to maintain and emphasize the focus and intensity of the fruit, and a small portion (33%) was permitted to undergo spontaneous fermentation in a neutral old French oak barrel (33%). Post-ferment aging on the lees for ten months in the barrel complimented the intensity and power of the palate. The resulting wine reflects its multi-faceted upbringing, with the tight lime acidity of Bench Riesling focusing the structure and depth provided by the spontaneous ferment in oak. The uniquely exotic vineyard character of the Butler’s Grant site adds further layers of complexity to create a wine that represents Creekside’s “tradition with a twist” winemaking style as well as showcasing the variety’s stunning potential in this sub-appellation.
