TASTING NOTES

Tangerine, cantaloupe, honeydew grapefruit, ginger peel and Christmas orange on the nose. A creamy palate of carmelised brown sugar, apple pie with a hint of tangerine bookmarked with a delicate mousse reflecting the 2year lees aging.

100% Pinot Gris from the organically farmed Redfoot Vineyard. 12 days on skins, fermented in concrete egg. 2 years on lees in bottle.

Therianthropy is a winery project located in the emerging winegrowing region of Creemore Hills, Ontario. It was founded by a group of wine-loving humans who are passionate about cool climate winemaking and believe in unearthing the treasures which are the emerging terroirs of Ontario. 

Vintner David Eiberg came to winemaking after a career in investment banking. He took his love of wine and returned to the University of California Davis to train in oenology and cut his teeth working and harvesting with exceptional winemakers in France, California, Oregon, South Africa and most recently in Southern Ontario. 

Therianthropy's winemaking approaches include: fruit from the best vineyards, wild fermentations, low-intervention winemaking, low S02 and long elevage.
