April Tasting Notes The 2009 Trumpour’s Mill Chardonnay
April Tasting Notes
The 2009 Trumpour’s Mill Estate bottled Chardonnay VQA PEC is perhaps the most complex fruit driven chardonnay we have ever had in the cellar. A beautiful platinum coloured wine with aromas of tangerine, grapefruit and apple replayed on the palette and a medium length fruit mineral finish with just a hint of spice… Definitely a wine to watch out for!
Rosé Released! Come try our brand new 2009 release!
Rose Released!
Come try our brand new 2009 Trumpour’s Mill Rosé, whose release has been a long time coming for us as we’ve been sold out of the 2008 since the end of last summer. This new Rosé is incredibly unique in comparison to all of our previous ones. It is for one thing, sweeter than any Rosé we’ve produced. Not to the point where it is overly sweet, but it is certainly a two on the sugar scale. It is all sweet bright fruit on the nose and palate, with lots of citrus tones and lots of berries. But what gets you excited right away about this wine has got to be its color; it is a brightest, sharpest pink on a Rosé any of us has seen on the market. Perfect for the coming summer and a perfect match for our new picnics!

Vineyard Notes from Adam
The crew arrived on the 6th of April and began work on the 8th officially. The vineyard seems to be a few weeks ahead both the vines and the work: the hills have begun the slow process of coming down and the wires already lifted. Pruning is started and going well lots of wonderful buds to choose from out there. The radius arm on the grape hoe is hard at work bringing down the hills between the plants and though we are probably tempting fate it does look like we are setting up for a nice long growing season… however we also just filled all the propane tanks for the inversion fans, Which are currently set to fire at -2 celcius.
Cross your fingers for us!

Call ahead to reserve.
