For the fourth edition of its Autographe series, Pur Vodka joins forces with the award-winning Quebec-Ontario winery, Domaine Queylus, to once again celebrate Canada's riches, this time with a vodka flavoured with Pinot Noir grapes from the Niagara Peninsula.
Pur Vodka is honoured to partner with the renowned Domaine Queylus and showcase the source of its award-winning wines, the Pinot Noir grape from its Mountainview vineyard in Ontario's Niagara Peninsula. Queylus, whose history began in 2010, is now recognized as one of Canada's finest wineries. Founded by, among others, iconic Quebec wine figures Thomas Bachelder and Champlain Charest, Queylus is now under the masterful direction of Montreal-born superstar winemaker Kelly Mason. The impressive track record of Domaine Queylus, combined with that of Pur Vodka, marked by the entrepreneurial audacity of its creator Nicolas Duvernois, makes for a most inspiring collaboration.
On ice.
The careful blending of Pur Vodka and Pinot Noir grapes was orchestrated with great care by Stéphane Rochefort, Executive Vice President of Duvernois Esprits Créatifs (Pur Vodka) and oenologist Kelly Mason of Domaine Queylus. The result of a complex and innovative manufacturing process consisting of multiple steps to combine the cryo-concentrated mash as well as the lees of the grape with the vodka, the result is breathtaking. The initial taste is rich, soft and supple, slightly caramelized and very fruity. The mid palate is packed with freshness and brioche notes, supported by moderate acidity and light tannins. The finish is long and fruity, opening with subtle plant notes. A naturally flavoured vodka, undisguised, whose mission is to provide a unique experience, for the duration of an ultra-limited edition bottle. It can be enjoyed as is, on the rocks, with tonic or soda.
