2021 Trail Estate 'Supersonic' Sparkling
Prince Edward County, Ontario
Notes from our pals at Trail Estate:
"This wine has developed a cult following over the last few years. Like nothing else (we make or any wineries for that matter) — Supersonic is 100% Concord, which is a super-sustainable grape to grow and was once the backbone of grape-growing in Ontario. Hand harvested Concord grapes were pressed on a very long press cycle with lots of rotation to naturally extract juice from these hard-to-press grapes. The wine was fermented naturally to dryness and allowed to settle at a cold temperature to aid in stability. Bottled with an addition of (pre-fermented) juice to reach a desired pressure of 2.5 bar. A lighter vintage than our two previous, this wine is a light red in colour with high acid and light bubbles. The unmistakable aromatics run rampant through the wine. Unmistakably Canadian with a touch of finesse from the winemaking team :)"
Production of 240 cases. 9% ABV.

2021 Trail Estate 'PIQ' Piquette
Prince Edward County, Ontario
Notes from our pals at Trail Estate:
"After pressing the Concord grapes for Supersonic, the grapes were put into a bin and recycled lees were put on top to ferment. Pressed after 4 days and allowed to ferment dry this wine had about 40 L of water added to it. Bottled with an addition of yeast and sugar in similar fashion to Champagne. An aimed pressure of 1.5bar. Like a trip down memory lane the Concord flavours of the this piquette jump at you, sending you down a path of remembering childhood autumn in Ontario. A slight spritz and a lightness to the palate this wine-like thing is the perfect easy sipper."
