Very much a food wine, this should integrate well over a day or two in the open bottle. In every way this is a successful and well-crafted red from what was a challenging ripening season - showing once more that Marechal Foch is able to produce exceptional table wines in our climate even in the weaker years. Scotch Block winery, in addition to producing a wide array of fruit wines, also sources hybrid grapes from its neighbouring Toccalino vineyard. The winery and vineyard are in Halton Hills just north of Milton, along the Niagara Escarpment, but completely outside the Niagara Peninsula wine growing region.
