Floral & Earthy
Husband and wife duo Ilya and Nadia started Leaning Post winery in Niagara over 10 years ago. Initially a virtual set up, the winery now located on Highway 8, has become a reference producer in Niagara.
The nose is typical Lowrey with intensely floral and herbal aromatics (lilac, lavender, sage) with a beautiful earthiness that reminds us of damp forest floor in autumn. The palate follows the nose while adding soft raspberry, sour cherry, cola and beetroot. It finishes with integrated but persistent tannins ensuring the wine from this esteemed vineyard will age gracefully for the next 8-10 years.
This wine is incredibly versatile and goes well with a variety of foods such as a light and simple frittata or something hearty and boeuf bourguignon and cheese such as Red Leicester, manchego, and gorgonzola.
