About the Producer
When Moray Tawse decided to invest in a winery, his goal was for nothing short of excellence. He built an amazing team around him, and together they achieved recognition as Canadian Winery of the year four times. Tawse has continued its high standards and today is one of the largest productions of organic wines in Niagara. Several vineyards are named after Moray’s children, and the whole estate sees thoughtful care throughout. The geo-thermal energy system in the winery reduces traditional forms of energy tremendously, and the building design sees fruit and fermenting juice proceed with gravity from one stage to the next. Everything has a purpose: the attractive pond and fountain at the approach to the Tawse winery are their wetland bio-filter that provides the re-use of all sanitary and winery process water.
Reviews & Notes
Gary Hewitt
"A challenging wine! Unfiltered and unprotected by sulfur dioxide, slightly hazy, best to let it stand in a cool place for > a week to fall clear. Super natural (sorry B.C.) with oatmeal, quince, and green apple notes, fresh acidity, and a round palate. Hard to tell if it's best now or with bottle age. Natural? Yup. SECOND TASTING 4 May 2017: bright yellow gold & perlant, hazelnut/butter--evolving & more coherent and fresher than previous bottle. Excellent."
