A Visit with Natalie Spytkowsky Winemaker at Rosewood Estates Winery and Meadary

Our next stop with Darryl Fields was to visit Rosewood Estates Winery and Meadery where Natalie Spytkowsky is the winemaker. Natalie uses the EuroSelect to destem their grape clusters.
Behind the scenes, there was an impressive array of variable top tanks lined against the wall in an immaculately clean facility, a stellar example of winery sanitation practices in real life.
Natalie explained how they made their wine and then gave us a tasting. We started with Riesling, then a
Riesling made with an addition of sussreserve, Semillon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Estate Merlot and two kinds of mead. Wow, they make some really good wine in Ontario---who knew! Natalie has an infectious laugh that makes me smile whenever I think of our visit at Rosewood Estates.
