Applewood Farm Winery 2004 Elora’s Harvest   

Hits:477

DescriptionDescription  Talk about innovative … winemaker and owner Matthew Passafiume named this secret blend after one of his two daughters (there’s another called Eden – and she too has a wine named after her). There seems to be a little of everything in this wine, including some previous vintages of Elora’s Harvest. Matthew has been making this blend since 1999 … the same way each year – and every year he adds new ingredients to the mix … that way he can always claim “there’s a little bit in here from my very first batch”. This year’s harvest includes: strawberries, apples, peaches, pears, cranberries, wild blueberries, Niagara grapes, cherries, raspberries, and honey … and it is a blend not to be missed. It’s like drinking a really good spiked fruit punch or putting your nose into a freshly harvested basket of fruit. Enjoy both the flavour sensations on your tongue and the scents in your nostrils, as you try to pick out all ten ingredients. This is a great wine to play guessing games with your friends: See who can name the most fruits used in the mix – the best here at OntarioWineReview was 8 of 10.
