Norman Hardie County Pinot Noir Prince Edward County VQA

Prince Edward County Wine Region, Canada

Estate Pinot Noir from Prince Edward County limestone; Canada's most Burgundy-comparable Pinot Noir. Whole-cluster fermented, indigenous yeasts, 14 months in French oak (30% new). Red cherry, dried rose, earth, and the distinctive PEC limestone mineral character. Cool-climate structure demands patience — best at 5–8 years. The wine that convinced Canada it could produce world-class Pinot Noir.
