Creekside Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Grapefruit, lime and pineapple, with fresh spring greenery, apple blossom and wet stone on the nose. The palate shows white grapefruit, lime and minerality: fresh and zesty, with a very pleasing mouthfeel and crisp citrus acidity. Classic Sauvignon Blanc character.

Based on the winery’s 2025 tasting note.

Goat cheese crostini, fresh summer salads, grilled asparagus, oysters, ceviche, white fish with herbs and lemon, fish tacos. In Japan: sashimi with yuzu-kosho, tempura of spring vegetables, shio-grilled fish.

Best enjoyed young and fresh, through 2028.

2025: A cool start, then a hot, dry summer with timely rain and an ideal, dry harvest period. Widely regarded in Ontario as a benchmark vintage.

Creekside Estate Winery opened in 1997 in small-town Jordan, Ontario.  The Winery is run by a passionate (some say fanatical) group of industry veterans who have decades of experience in their respective fields. The team of self-described cork dorks love what they do, and have fun doing it. 

Early on the darlings of the Creekside portfolio were, like the people who created them, a little outside of the mainstream fold; Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah are the signature wines.  Creekside has also developed a cult following for its Sauvignon Blanc / Semillon blend and Ontario’s award winning Broken Press Syrah.

Despite being considered viticulturally off-kilter for the region these 2 grapes showed promise and the early successes spurred further investment in the vineyard and cellar.
