Description

How to taste Pelee Island Cabernet Franc?

Producers advise pairing it with meats so that it reveals its power. Thus, it will go perfectly with beef and pork, but also poultry and game. It compliments roasted or stewed meats. Serve it with pork chops, fresh pasta with poultry or with wild boar stew. In small doses, so as not to waste it, it can also be used to make reductions for meat sauce.

It is a powerful wine that is very well rated in its region of production in Canada, but also in the rest of the world.

A wine from Pelee Island Winery

Pelee Island is a Canadian island on which the brand of the same name is established. It was in 1982 that Pelee Island Winery was established. That year, nearly 25,000 liters of wine were produced. Pelee Island Winery then produced a large catalog of wines through an on-site vineyard and winery beginning in 1985. The brand won the LCBO Supplier of the Year award in 1998-99. In 2009, the estate saw the planting of its first organic vineyard. In 2019, it has more than 280 hectares of vines.

Questions and responses

Cabernet Franc loves the continental climate of Niagara Peninsula and Pelée Island. Here it ripens slowly, gains complexity without excess. More subtle than Cabernet Sauvignon, it offers red fruits, grilled pepper and soft spices. The most expressive Canadian red.

A medium-bodied, elegant red, with deep ruby color. On the nose: cherry, raspberry, plum, with those typical notes of grilled pepper and soft spices. On the palate: fine, silky tannins, preserved freshness, slightly woody finish. A Cab Franc reminiscent of Loire wines, but riper.

Store the bottle lying down, in a cool place (12-16°C) away from light. Good cellaring 5-7 years. Serve at 16-18°C in a Bordeaux red wine glass. Decant for 30 minutes to release the aromas, especially if the bottle is young.

Magic with grilled red meats (rib of beef, lamb, game), maple duck breast, or mushroom risotto. Also excellent with aged cheeses (comté, brie de Meaux). To twist things up: serve it with tex-mex dishes (chili, fajitas).

Canadian Cab Franc is fruitier, less tannic than its Bordeaux cousins. The cool climate preserves acidity and crisp fruit. No need to wait 10 years: drinks young with pleasure. A more accessible, immediate, indulgent style. Another vision of Cabernet Franc.

For lovers of fruity reds, those who love Loire wines (Chinon, Bourgueil), the curious about Canadian wine regions. Ideal for a dinner with friends, a summer BBQ, a festive meal. Original gift for traveling oenophiles who want to discover a little-known wine region.
