About this winery
In 1989 Donald Triggs and Allan Jackson, along with a group of investors, acquired Cartier wines from John Labatt Limited. They then changed the name of the company to Vincor. In 1993, the duo began producing Jackson-Triggs wine, only from two grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. Today Jackson-Triggs cultivates many different varietals and produces VQA wines and ICB wines. This is the most awarded Canadian brand.

Product notes
Pairs well with prosciutto wrapped melon, fruit salad or grilled Korean sticky chicken thighs.
Production notes
The fruit for this elegant Sauvignon Blanc comes from our select Niagara Peninsula vineyards. The fruit was destemmed and immediately pressed and cold fermented at 16 degrees for 10 days. Each block was fermented separately then blended to create perfect harmony, reflective of the Niagara terroir and yield a lean, delicate wine.
Tasting notes
Aromas of crushed passion fruit seeds, dried mangos, notes of frangipanni and candied melon. A fine, chalky acidity and mineral-driven slate on the palate follows a long and elegant tropical fruit finish on the nose.
