The palate is medium-bodied and finely textured, with lively acidity framing refined red berry flavours, gentle earthy complexity and a hint of saline minerality reflective of its reddish, dolomitic limestone soils.

The cool climate and limestone soils of the area are extremely well suited to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, producing rich and fruit-driven wines. The Pinot Noir vines were planted at Wismer-Parke in 1999. They are planted on well-drained silt, clay and limestone soils. According to winemaker, Thomas Bachelder, this plot would qualify as one of Niagara's 'Grand Crus' for Pinot Noir.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiButtonBase-root MuiAccordionSummary-root Mui-expanded\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiCollapse-root MuiCollapse-entered\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiCollapse-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiCollapse-wrapperInner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"region\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiAccordionDetails-root\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1\"\u003eThomas Bachelder has a hands-off approach to winemaking. The grapes were hand harvested and gently pressed, in order to retain delicate aromatics. Indigenous yeast fermentation took place in French oak barrels, a small percentage of which were new, and the remaining between one and five years old. The wine was aged for 19 months in barrel and then rested for an additional eight months in bottle to allow the nuanced floral bouquet to develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThomas Bachelder and his wife, Mary Delaney, are masters of cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

The stony silt-clay soils, laced with magnesium oxide, iron-tinged gravel and dolomitic limestone, combined with long sun exposure moderated by cool lake influences, impart a distinct mineral signature and structural clarity that clearly reflect the unique Bench terroir.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiButtonBase-root MuiAccordionSummary-root Mui-expanded\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eFermentation was carried out with approximately 33–34% whole grape clusters to enhance structure and terroir definition, using wild (indigenous) yeasts.
