Drea’s 2023 Sauvignon Blanc

Drea’s single vineyard, small batch, low intervention wines are crafted in Niagara-on-the-Lake by Andrea Kaiser, daughter of world renowned winemaker Karl J. Kaiser who co-founded Inniskillin Wines. As a visionary pioneer, his contributions to modern Canadian winemaking cannot be understated. She closely follows the tenants of her father’s winemaking philosophies with a focus on natural fruit flavours and aromas, making bone dry wines that are well balanced with a bright acidity. The wines in her collection are an expression of his legacy and are dedicated to her father, who affectionately called her ‘Drea’. Since being released, her wines have taken the wine world by storm, receiving International Critical Acclaim including her Sauvignon Blanc being marked as distinguished by renowned wine writer Jancis Robinson. Her wines are regularly recognized at the International Wine Challenge and TEXSOM and served around the world including the Canadian Embassies in NYC, London and Washington D.C. Her Rosato was named as one of ‘the top Canadian Rosés to try’ by Decanter Magazine and her Dornfelder was listed at one of Canada’s first Michelin Star Restaurants.“I selected this varietal for my first release as after retiring, my father would a special ‘batch’ of Sauvignon Blanc fo me in his home cellar. He knew this was my favourite, so it seemed a fitting tribute to launch my own Sauvignon Blanc in his memory. The aromas and flavours are bright and fresh with classic gooseberry notes on the nose and palate. Fermented in only stainless steel of course, and bone dry. Pair with seafood, especially fresh shucked oysters, or my family's favourite: pork schnitzel served with a fresh lemon wedge and homemade potato salad.” Andrea (Drea) Kaiser
