The Grange of Prince Edward Winery Enriches Its Aurelia Series
The Grange of Prince Edward Winery has unveiled the first two wines in its Aurelia Series. The collection, which promises to deliver some of the winery's most refined and high-quality offerings, is the result of careful selection, with only the most exceptional barrels being chosen to represent the ideal terroir of Prince Edward County.
The initial releases in the Aurelia Series include the 2023 Pinot Noir and the 2023 Chardonnay, both of which showcase unique production methods and distinctive regional characteristics. The Pinot Noir features a whole-cluster fermentation process, including carbonic maceration, which enhances its fruit-forward qualities. The Chardonnay, on the other hand, benefits from both slow fermentation and the influence of French oak barrels, creating a wine that is described as subtle, elegant, and minerally.
The Aurelia Series stands apart from the winery's other offerings, as it highlights the best wines that have evolved naturally during the fermentation process, with little intervention by the winemaking team.
