The
wines of Huff Estates, Prince Edward County
Visiting wine country in Ontario, Canada, part
8
Website: www.huffestates.com
Owners Lanny and Catherine Huff are
locals, having grown up in the County. They began their project in
2002/3, and the winery was opened in 2004. Since then they have
added luxury accommodation and an art gallery.
We tasted with winemaker Frédéric
Picard, who hails from Burgundy. He’s been at Huff since the
start. The focus is on sparkling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
THE
WINES
Huff Estates Cuvée Peter F Huff 2007
Prince Edward County, Canada
A blend of 60% Chardonnay with 40% Pinot Noir. Full yellow
colour. Ripe, rich flavours of apple and pear, showing good
concentration and some spice and toast notes. The Pinot brings lots
of richness and body here. 91/100
Huff Estates Cuvée Jasmine Rosé 2010
Prince Edward County, Canada
12 hours skin contact in a super-ripe year have yielded this
dark coloured rosé. Lively, intense cherry and raspberry fruit.
Very fruity, lively and full with rich fruity character. 88/100
Huff Estates South Bay Vineyard
Chardonnay 2010 Prince Edward County, Canada
Toasty and nutty with fresh pear and white peach fruit. Lovely
precision: pure with nice texture and freshness. 92/100
Huff Pinot Gris 2012 Ontario, Canada
75% Prince Edward County, 25% Niagara. Tight, fresh, lively and
bright with lemony fruit and good acidity. Linear style. 87/100
Huff Estates South Bay Vineyard Merlot
2010 Prince Edward County, Canada
This is a vintage-dependent wine, with the vines yielding just a
ton an acre. Fresh, bright cherry and berry fruits with high
acidity. Pure with some oaky notes and hints of spice in the
background. 89/100
