Drea’s 2022 Cabernet Franc

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. "A bright brilliant ruby colour with signature bright fruit flavours of black currant and an elegant savory mouthwatering taste. This wine also has soft vanilla notes and a gracious acidity. Drea’s favourite pairing is with her father’s version of ‘Sooke Harbour House’ Ontario rack of lamb seasoned with Keen’s dry mustard, dried mint, coarse salt and fresh ground pepper. Also exceptional with Glengarry Fine Cheese, Celtic Blue and Thornloe aged cheddar." Andrea (Drea) Kaiser
