Hi Alex! Thank you for watching and for your kind comment.☺We are very fortunate to have many delicious examples of Cabernet Franc here in Ontario. Sadly, not much gets exported! You will have to visit some day so you can try them! 🤩 Thank you again for watching and for your kind support. ❤🙏
Thank you for watching, Simón! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. To your question, like most decisions in winemaking, it is often just a personal preference. While indigenous yeast has a lot of desirable attributes, it is also a little more unpredictable to work with. So I suspect that given that this was their first vintage, and they had two amphoras to ferment, it was good reason to try both techniques. I believe most of Stratus's wines are fermented with selected yeast, so using indigenous yeast would've been a bit of a departure for them. Hope this makes sense! Thank you again for watching and for your kind support! ☺🙏❤
A wonderful travel around the Canada and Niagara area ! A terrible envy to discover this jewel of canada winemaking !

Loved the video. Why is it that they don’t use 100% indigenous yeasts?
