Exquisite traditional method sparkling wine showcasing pronounced autolytic richness and a complex bouquet of fresh brioche, toasted almond, preserved lemon, and golden apple.

A vibrant mineral lift brings focus and precision to the aromatics. With vineyard expression at the forefront, the palate reveals a creamy mid-palate framed by a fine, elegant mousse.

This wine is a true celebration of the County and the distinctive soils that lend depth, character, and unmistakable identity to our wines.

The Legend of the Wolf of Lafontaine

The people of Lafontaine hold on to a legend - that of a lone wolf which for years, terrorized them and their livestock.

Lurking through the darkness of separation between old Lafontaine’s cultures - French settlers, English Loyalists, Voyageurs, and Aboriginal Peoples - the beast was free to exploit their isolation.

Bonding together as one community, they banished the wolf to never return.

To this day, the wolf symbolizes the common respect and connection between the cultures of Lafontaine, a place which remains one of the last Francophone communities in Ontario.

We like to think the Wolf of Lafontaine incited solidarity; a cause for celebration and popping of corks that spirited great friendships - they were united by bubbles.
