coun-ter-point, noun meaning: the art of combining melodies.
The second vintage of this idiosyncratic wine is a blend of 37% Gewurztraminer, 34% unoaked Chardonnay, 11% Semillon and 5% Riesling. The flavours are predominantly ripe lemon-lime with yellow peach, pear, crisp apple and a racy finish.
$25.00 / 750 ml

2009 Riesling VQA
Mineral, floral and herbaceous on the nose, it blossoms on the palate with flavours of racy pink grapefruit, white peach and a stream of citrussy tang...it finishes clean, crisp and lip-smacking good.
$18.00 / 750 ml

2008 Sauvignon Blanc VQA
Fermented and aged (10 months) in French oak there are aromas of coconut and vanilla with the palate showing some bright citrus flavours while finishing on a creamy note, an elegant and expressive Sauvignon Blanc. Would work well with Chèvre Cheese or pan seared scallops.
$20.00 / 750 ml

2008 Chardonnay Niagara Peninsula VQA
The perfumed nose delivers vanilla, apple and mixed spice aromas while the flavours offer sweet stone fruit - peach and nectarine - along with moderating acidity...very generously textured,medium weight and a lingering and well-balanced finish.
$20.00 / 750 ml     

2008 Vidal VQA
"This summer sipper, which has been long been one of the insider secrets at Lailey Vineyard, is made in a pleasantly off-dry and balanced style, look for appealing apricot and stone fruit flavours. Drink now. Its freshness is the best part of its charm." (3.5 out of 5 stars Christopher Waters, watersandwine.com)
$14.00 / 750 ml


Red Wine


2009 Rosé VQA NEW RELEASE

2007 Gamay-Zweigelt VQA
"The combination of the fruit Gamay paired with the spicy, pepper driven Zweigelt makes an appealing blend that has the best of both worlds. A wine that can easily be chilled for enjoyment on the patio, kept at room temperature for a backyard barbecue or one to be sipped and savored on its own..."(5 stars out of 5 Michael Pinkus, www.ontariowinereview.com)

Rarities




2008 Chardonnay Canadian Oak VQA
"There's a floral element to this fine, fragrant Chardonnay that winemaker Derek Barnett describes as being like an Easter lily. That white floral note adds an exotic scent to a wine that reveals equally attractive melon and spice aromas and flavours. On the finish, there's that hint of maple syrup that Canadian oak always seems to impart in Lailey Chardonnays." (4+ stars out of 5 Chris Waters, Vines Magazine)
$25.00 / 750 ml     

2004 Cabernet VQA Magnum
Complex on the nose, with raspberry, strawberry, currants, smoke, and spice reminiscent of purple flowers. On the palate there is raspberry jam, dark cherry with notes of cedar, vanilla, and black pepper all supported by soft tannins. (GOLD MEDAL ALL CANADIAN WINE CHAMPIONSHIP)
$45.00 / 1500 ml

2007 impromptu VQA SOLD OUT
im-promp-tu, adjective meaning: made or done without previous preparation.
2007 is the second vintage of impromptu, a unique blend of Syrah (68%), Petit Verdot and Malbec, (12% each), and Cabernet Sauvignon (8%). It is always made in small quantities - only 2736 bottles this year - and was crafted from fruit sourced exclusively from Lailey Vineyard in the Niagara River subappellation. impromptu is a rich and full bodied wine with dark fruit aromas, and some white pepper and cedar notes. The palate is elegant with ripe fruit flavours balanced by round, but firm tannins that give this wine the necessary structure for five to seven years in the cellar. Aged fifteen months in French oak barrels and bottled unfiltered or fined, impromptu will throw a deposit with age so decanting is recommended. (Silver Medal - 2009 Intervin International Wine Awards)
$45.00 / 750 ml

2007 Meritage, Canadian Oak VQA
"Cabernet sauvignon represents 25% of the blend for Lailey's Canadian Oak Meritage, but winemaker Derek Barnett believes that it makes the wine. (fifty percent Cabernet Franc and 25% Merlot form the rest) This brilliant red shows the wisdom of blending, with its attractive nose, multilayered palate, firm structure and polished tannins. 98 cases produced." (4.5 stars out of 5, Vines Magazine)
$40.00 / 750 ml

2006 Cabernet, Canadian Oak VQA
This wine is extremely expressive and floral with a rich, creamy texture and flavours of plums, black currants and coffee beans. Spice and cedar linger on the finish. Drink now and for the next 3-5.
$30.00 / 750 ml

2008 Pinot Noir Canadian Oak VQA
Cherry, cranberry and strawberry on the nose with some smoke and earthy tones. Palate is soft with rich red berry flavours alongside spice and a hint of white pepper. Tannins are quite well balanced and soft.
$35.00 / 750 ml
