Winemaker Notes
Wine lovers everywhere - in the Old and New World alike - have long recognized the intimate connection between authenticity of origin and the highest standards of quality in winemaking. At Cave Spring we believe that out wines are unique because they capture what the French call 'goût de terroir', or 'taste of the land' from which they come; and that no amount of artifice - enological or otherwise - could ever replicate the particular flavour profile they achieve. The uniqueness of our wines stems directly from their authenticity of origin.
Cabernet Franc, a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon, is the subtler and more delicate of the Cabernets.

Here Cabernet Franc shines as a single varietal wine or in blends, expressing sumptuous fruit, savory aromas and polished tannins.
Home of the Niagara Peninsula wine region, Ontario leads as Canada’s region with the most area under vine. Ontario’s main grape varieties include Merlot, Pinot noir, Cabernet Franc and Riesling. The latter two show great success here for the production of ice wines, along with Vidal blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
