The Iconoclast Sauvignon Blanc Semillon is one of the most distinctive white wines produced in the Niagara Peninsula, crafted by winemaker Yvonne Irvine, who has a particular passion for working with Sauvignon Blanc. By blending it with Semillon, she creates a wine that steps confidently outside convention — sharp, expressive, and textural all at once.
The blend is split evenly between the two varietals.Sauvignon Blanc contributes its signature drive: lifted aromatics, citrus energy, tropical fruit, and fine herbs. Semillon adds richness, a waxy mid-palate, and rounded weight that creates harmony and depth.
Yvonne encourages pairings that break the mould. This blend complements dishes with gentle heat or aromatic seasonings — kimchi, shawarma, lentil soups, marinated vegetables, seafood salads, scallops with pea purée, or even crispy goat cheese rounds. Classic pairings like roast chicken or turkey also shine alongside its vibrant acidity and layered fruit.
The Iconoclast series reflects Creekside’s commitment to pushing boundaries in Ontario winemaking, and this Sauvignon Blanc Semillon stands as a vivid example of that philosophy — expressive, unconventional, and deeply memorable.
