Perhaps the most prized fruit in the country comes from this 90-acre site in the heart of Oakville. Iconic and synonymous with excellence, Beckstoffer To Kalon has a long history of producing amazingly robust, yet balanced and elegant wines.  

The wine offers a beautiful bouquet of cassis, blueberries, flowery incense, tobacco leaf, sandalwood, and violet-like nuances. This wine exudes dark mocha, black currant and cassis flavors, coming together in a seamless, opulent style. Drinkable now, but we expect it to continue to refine over the next 15 years.

Sourced from the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville, this Cabernet Sauvignon was aged for 28 months in 100% new French oak. Bacio Divino first produced a wine from this legendary site in 2004, with fruit sourced from blocks closer to Highway 29. A highly expressive and aromatic wine, it showcases pure red berry fruit, complemented by a cool wet slate character on the mid-palate. The fine-grained tannins are accented by dark cocoa nib nuances and perfumed violet tones, leading to a long, elegant finish. Claus Janzen, the founder, hails from Canada, while Kyle Janzen, the second generation, is now co-owner and general manager. Winemaker Kirk Venge has crafted the wines since 2003 for Bacio Divino, meaning ‘Divine Kiss’ in Italian. - Jonathan Cristladi
