This skin-fermented white wine is floral and intriguing, with exciting suggestions of jalapeno, passion fruit, citrus, honey and marmalade. The fermentation gives this added weight and texture. Pair it with grilled seafood, and if you can, try it with oysters. Yum!

The 2023 vintage in Niagara was beautiful, warm and sunny throughout, but with very small yields. As a result, wines are very concentrated with great acidity. This elegant Chardonnay was vinified in concrete with ambient yeast and aged on the lees for nine months. Evoking pineapple, nectarine, lemon curd, orange blossom and wet stones, it'll pair well with lemon-roasted chicken or turkey.

The NP pinot noir falls into the Leaning Post line wedged somewhere on the line between The Fifty and the single vineyard labels of Senchuk, Hemeris, Lowery and Grimsby Hillside Vineyard. What's right and charming about 2023 is how it settles into our varietal psyche for a vintage neither as warm or concentred, while returning to varietal basics. This feels like 2009 or 2009, wines ripe and structured enough that in Ilya Senchuk's hands that are able to please early yet surely age gracefully forward several years. There is purity and potential magic from vintages like this with no exception for one labeled as an LP pinot noir. Less than epic, but they can't all be and my how good '23 will be for years to come. Drink 2025-2031. Tasted July 2025. Score - 90. (Michael Godel, winealign.com)

This beautiful Niagara Chardonnay is wild-fermented and aged 25% in new and 75% used French oak barrels. The bouquet captures the aromas of white peaches and grilled pineapple with hints of spice. The palate is rich and creamy, with notes of baked peaches and minerals, with spice on the finish. It pairs well with shellfish.

This wine is a blend of NOTL fruit with the debut vintage of Gamay from the cool Lincoln Lakeshore Senchuk Vineyard. It shows ripe blackberry, cherry, evocative earth, spice and herbs. The warm growing season created some extra weight in the mouth, but the acidity and balance are so finely accomplished there's no loss of typicity or poise. Easy to enjoy, it will drink through 2030+.

Grown in The Twenty Mile Bench region of Niagara this aromatic wine has an abundance of citrus and honeyed fruit. The green apple, lilac and chalky minerality are very distinctive of the region. With a crunchy, mouth-filling sensation this full-bodied Riesling will age well for 10 years. A great match for mushroom risotto.
