20 BEES

GROWERS' WHITE

In a little shop in the Niagara Peninsula, a group of the region’s finest grape growers gathered to make plans for their own winery.

Their goal was simple: To nurture their vines, harvest their grapes, and produce great-tasting, unpretentious wines at an unpretentious price. 20 Bees is the fruit of their labour. A wonderful wine created from the soil to the glass by 19 growers and 1 chief winemaker:

WINEMAKER'S COMMENTS: This wine was fermented and aged in Stainless steel tanks to preserve the fine fruit qualities of all components of the blend. The wine did not go through any malo lactic fermentationsince they wanted to keep the acidity elevated to create a refreshing, fruit driven wine. Almost every "Bee" contributed to this unique blend.
