Produced from 100% Riesling grapes and fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks. The colour is light gold and the bouquet is floral with aromas of citrus fruit and lychee spice. On the palate the wine is lively and full flavoured with a refreshingly crisp finish. This wine makes an excellent aperitif and also matches well with seafood or spicier dishes such as Asian food. A four time gold medal winner at the annual Cellars of the World Competition. |

|  The story of Château
des Charmes begins over five generations ago with a family that traces
its roots to the Alsace region of France and the vineyards of French
Algeria.
Thousands of kilometers from its present day vineyards, Canada's outstanding winery, Château des Charmes, traces its beginnings. In these foreign lands, the ancestors of Paul Bosc began a heritage of fine winemaking that would serve the Bosc family for generations to come. This tradition of excellence continues today in the vineyards of Niagara-on-the-Lake where Paul Bosc and his family carry on this rich heritage of meticulous vinification by harmonizing science and art. A graduate of one of Europe's finest winemaking schools, the University of Burgundy at Dijon, Paul Bosc came to Canada from France in the 1960's. He brought the Old World tradition of winemaking to his new home and he grafted that knowledge and tradition to the soils of Niagara.
Paul is joined by his wife Andrée and
his sons, Pierre-Jean and Paul-André who represent the sixth
generation of winegrowing expertise. The Bosc family produces their
award winning wines in a magnificently designed Château that
is the jewel of the Niagara countryside. It alone speaks to the Boscs'
determination to maintaining their winegrowing heritage. |
