2023 Hanck Pinot Noir, VQA Twenty Mile Bench Toussaint 2024

2023 Hanck Pinot Noir, VQA Twenty Mile Bench Toussaint 2024Across the headland, just 20 metres north of the Wismer Parke Wild West End, lies the Hanck Vineyard, on demonstrably whiter soil. Here, we still taste the signature meaty flavours of the Vineland Bench, but in a much more approachable, sophisticated, regal way. Hanck is one of the most unique terroirs in all of Niagara! It possesses a class and elegance of black raspberries and black cherry, minty edged rose petal intensity, and a very fine forest

But the old vines and Lacustrine clay bring a minerality to the sandstone flavours on the finish

clear purity here: Niagara-on-the-Lake white peaches are overlaid with fresh lemons

This is the jive

Il se tiendra beaucoup plus long que ça

a plush red-fruited but stony wine

Regal with just a touch of red meatiness

A word from Mary: Lemon zest encrusted with Maldon salt

There’s a hint of pear on the nose mingling with crustacean seaside notes that seem more elegant

A warm spiciness
