Our 2006 VQA Shiraz is the first of its kind here at Stoney Ridge.  It was harvested from ripe grapes sourced at Tregunno Farms on the Niagara Parkway in Niagara-on-the-Lake.  It’s a full-bodied, robust wine with powerful aromas of ripe cherries, chocolate and black pepper.  Oak-inspired flavours of dried plums and tobacco round it out and lend complexity.  Pair with full-flavoured grilled meats and game such as lamb, veal or venison.  Enjoy now or hold for further ageing.
