Wildass Wines Niagara-on-the-Lake

Born and raised in the vineyards of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Wildass wines are handcrafted and bottled for enjoyment in select, fun-loving restaurants and homes across this great land. Wildass grapes are hand picked, gently handled and patiently aged in the new and innovative Stratus winery. The resulting wines are full of personality and best enjoyed with a group of friends! The process of crafting Stratus Red and Stratus White includes individual lot harvesting by hand, vinification of these separate lots, elévage in individual barriques and finally assemblage. The barrels that do not make it into the flasgship wines are bottled as Wildass. This means that the same care and dedication that went into the proprietary wines goes into Wildass and this translates as great value.

Wildass White 2006 The best of five wines without the decision of which to drink - have them all! A choice selection of estate fruit makes the most aromatic and mouth-filling wine yet. The combination of creamy Chardonnay, grassy Sauvignon blanc, fruity Semillon, tropical Gewurztraminer, and last but not least, racy Riesling. After a two year elévage in French barriques, the individual lots are assembled to produce a wine of incredible intensity, complexity, enjoyablity, and most of all, drinkability.

Wildass Red 2008 Bold and beautiful! Cabernet/Merlot with a hint of Gamay. Barrel-aged on the lees for over 600 days in French barriques, after which each individual variety was carefully introduced to the others to ensure compatibility and harmony. Ripe blackberry and raspberry aromas, pepper and spicy complexity, give way to smooth tannins and a firm, balanced finish. Drink this juicy red now or cellar it for 3-4 years.
