Introducing Stratus Red 2019

Stratus Red 2019 - Drinking in the Present Moment When it comes to enjoying a glass of something special, the Stratus Red 2019 is certainly up there with the very best. Perfect for enjoying relaxed evenings, lively celebrations and everything in between, this unique red blend is sure to capture the heart – and perhaps even the palate! The Stratus Red 2019 derives its name from the altitude of Stratus Vineyards in the Niagara-on-the-Lake region of Canada, where the grapevine-filled fields span 350 acres at the base of the Niagara Escarpment. With vineyards planted in three different tiers, the matching angles of the planted vines are believed to mirror the triangular ‘Stratus’ symbol – making this red blend more than just a great drop, it’s a representation of two passions entwined, celebrated in this very bottle! Winemaker Mike DeGasperis says it best: “We wanted to create a red blend with a vibrant character worthy of its home…a spirit that captures the character of Ontario’s wine region. A combination of vibrant aromas, complexity and flavour, making each glass a beautiful representation of the Stratus experience". And this dream is definitely realised in the Stratus Red 2019! Crafted with a blend of Gamay Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, this unique red expresses the best characteristics of each grape, producing a curious and harmonious blend. Aromas of ripe cranberries and cocoa mingle together, followed by notes of pepper, black cherry, coffee and roasted almonds on the nose. On the palate, a medley of strawberry and earthy flavours are followed by smooth tannins, a balanced acidity and a long, velvety finish. The ideal accompaniment to comfort food or perhaps a special occasion, the Stratus Red 2019 is the perfect accompaniment to any occasion. Whether sipped to accompany a relaxed evening or opened up a lively celebration, you’ll never forget the lingering flavours and aromas of this unique Ontario red!
