| Flavourful and light
with classic Pinot
hints of cherry and
raspberry. Black
cherry on the nose.
A Lively and complex
palate ranging from
mint to mushroom.
Fruit forward, then
classic Pinot
silkiness in the
mid-palate. A long
finish featuring the
well-known spicy
Hillier spirit. |

lovely." David Lawrason:
"Smooth mid palate.
Very good to
excellent
length.Peppery." Natalie
MacLean: "A
vibrant,
cherries-jubilee
wine that's playful,
fresh, light-bodied
and vivacious." |

| Gewürztraminer
2007 |

|
| A dry, very food
friendly wine |
| Gewürztraminer has a
natural tendency to
'taste' off-dry, so
we've chosen to
carefully push its
fermentation to as
complete a state as
possible. This is
our style, and we
think it suits
Canadian tastes for
a dryer wine.
Harwood's
Gewürztraminer is
not sweet, but it
does have all the
other attributes
that make Gewurtz so
popular: rose petal
and lychee nose; an
apricot-pear pallet. |

| Very smooth and
elegantly balanced.
Floral and citrus on
the nose. Pink
grapefruit on the
palate. A long full
finish with a hint
of lime. Michael Pinkus
called the 2007
Vintage "A fabulous melon
loaded summer sipper" and it
sold-out in
mid-season. |

| An Austrian vinifera
ideally suited to
Hillier soils and
climate. A bright
and lively nose of
red current and
raspberry, this
medium-bodied red
wine has lovely
black cherry flavours
with a good clean
crisp finish. The
2008 Vintage has
greater smoky and
leathery character
than even our 2007
Vintage. Serves well
with a slight chill
too! |

2008
produced a very good
Gewürztraminer for
us. The pallet is
pronounced and very
typically
Gewürztraminer with
a floral and lyche
nose. Gewürztraminer
from The County is
livelier than
European wines, and
we vinify ours dry
because we've
learned that it best
suits Canadian
tastes. This is
Harwood's signature
style. Lauren Simmons: "We
loved the
Gewurztraminer...uncharacteristically
non-sweet wine with
aromas and flavours
of peach and lychee
backed up by a
measured level of
spice." (Spotlight
Toronto, June 2010) |

| Unique to Prince
Edward County - Our
first Vintage |
| Frontenac Gris is an
ideal cold-weather
climate grape that
grows abundantly in
Hillier. We vinified
it as a Rosé to
highlight its
natural strawberry
pallet and candy-
floss nose. The body is
soft, but the flavours
are complex and pronounced. There's
tremendous variety
in the sensory
perception of this
wine. Not to be
missed! |

in County Class |
| We made a small
amount of this sexy,
sweet Dessert Wine
and it sold out over
the winter. We're
now about to release
the Réserve - only
about 70 bottles. It's an
amazing blend of La
Crescent and
Traminette, and
Frontenac Gris, all
picked at high Brix
(sugar) levels.
Unlike Ice Wine,
Just Desserts
finishes dry even
though it has a
sweet pallet of
fresh strawberry
shortcake with the
tiniest
hint of citrus. |

We held back 54
liters from our 2008
Release because we
wanted to let it age
and integrate. We
also encouraged it
to ferment to a
slightly dryer
state. This was a
touch-and-go
process, the kind of
chance our winemaker
loves to take. The
results were
stellar! We hope to
make this delightful
Dessert Wine
available in the
first week of June.
We strongly suggest
ordering now as the
entire First Release
was gone in a few
weeks during the
winter. (June 21st - 36
bottles remaining)
