13th Street Winery has been one of Niagara Peninsula's most reliable voices for Gamay, and the Vin Gris is where that grape gets to show its most playful, sun-drenched side. Made in the vin gris style — minimal skin contact to preserve freshness and lift — this VQA rosé is pale pink in the glass and immediately expressive on the nose, with wild strawberry, red raspberry, white peach, and a delicate white cherry blossom note that gives it an almost perfumed quality.

The palate is where it really comes alive. Mouth-watering acidity drives flavours of red grapefruit, guava, and basil sorbet — bright, a little unexpected, and completely refreshing — while a streak of chalky minerality runs through to a long, clean finish. It's a wine that earns its place at the table: equally at home with goat and sheep cheeses, a charcuterie spread, fresh asparagus and burrata, or anything with a little heat and citrus, like fish tacos or spicy Mexican.
