The Semillon 2022 from Rosewood Estates Winery is a captivating expression of a rare white varietal in Canada’s Niagara Peninsula. Known for its limited plantings, Semillon is most often found in the great vineyards of Bordeaux and the Rhône Valley — but at Rosewood’s Beamsville Bench estate, it thrives under cool-climate conditions.
This small-batch wine was fermented and aged 10 months in stainless steel to preserve its crisp structure and natural aromatics. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, with its lees, it reflects Rosewood’s dedication to minimal-intervention winemaking and a pure expression of fruit.
This vegan-friendly Niagara white pairs perfectly with local seafood, creamy pastas, and soft cheeses and stands as a testament to Rosewood’s craftsmanship and curiosity in championing rare, distinctive varieties within Ontario’s cool-climate vineyards.
