In 1894, Pelee Island produced one of Canada’s first Méthode Classique or Traditional Method wines, “L’Empereur”. 127 years later, Pelee Island Winery has created “Empress”, a nod by our winemaking team to the past, with a glimpse to the future.
Before pressing our Gewurztraminer grapes, they get macerated on their skins and seeds for 28 days, creating a beautiful golden “orange” appearance.
