About 5 years ago, I visited Quebec, Canada and had the pleasure of going to a vineyard in Quebec City called Vignoble Les Murmures.  Daniel and Monique are this lovely couple who own this vineyard and are super passionate about winemaking.  Crop management, wine production, bottling, etc. they do it all and run the whole vineyard themselves.  Overall, I talk about the hospitality I experienced during my visit in their space and how I even got to try some smoked salmon and pork Daniel makes on property in his own smoker.

 

With Burgundy-like climate, they grow about seven different grape varieties on their land. The wine I review today is made of 100% Ste-Croix grape varietal which tends to be on the more tannic side and it happens to be a 2013 vintage…tune in to see if the wine still tastes good after so many years.
