Same grape. Same winemaker. Yet each vineyard has its own personality. That’s the kind of tasting I love!

This week, we have both vineyards in Chardonnay AND Pinot Noir, plus the 94+ point Blackwood, two exclusive Hillier pre-releases, and a few bottles to get your holiday evenings started.

And then there’s the 2017 Churchside Chardonnay. What has nine years done for this wine? We’re opening it live on November 11 to find out.

NV Closson Chase Mosaic Charmat Method | 91pts

$32.00

This might be the most restrained and precise Mosaic I've had from Closson Chase to date, and I find it to be the most enjoyable too. The charmat method shows great energy and showcases crisp acidity. Aromas include green apple, pear, gingerbread, and white flowers. The palate offers sweet lemon, yellow apple, and a hint of orchard fruits. I believe this is the first edition of Mosaic as a 'non vintage' wine, with 25% of perpetual cuvee, and the result is very convincing. (Carl Boucher, November 8, 2026).

91pts Carl’s Wine Club

Winery Notes

Apple, pear and mineral notes accompany a gentle bread-like character. Creamy bubbles and fresh acidity give a crisp finish. A blend of K.J. Watson fruit (75%) and the winery’s perpetual cuvée (25%). Production: 205 cases.

VQA Ontario.

2024 Closson Chase Hillier Pinot Noir | 91+pts | Exclusive Pre-Release

$35.00

Fermented in large tonneaux, and aged in 100% seasoned French oak, this County Pinot Noir is a great start to the 2024 releases. On the nose, a great mix of red berries, floral and earthy notes. The palate is lifted, and filled with energy.

Flavours of red cherry, raspberry, mocha, and slight spicy notes on the finish. You can also find that classic Prince Edward County and specifically Closson Chase mineral finish. (Carl Boucher, November 8, 2026).

2025 Closson Chase Hillier Chardonnay, 92 points, Exclusive Pre-Release. Representative bottle image.

2025 Closson Chase Hillier Chardonnay | 92pts | Exclusive Pre-Release

$34.00

Hillier Chardonnay is Closson Chase's expression of the County. 50% of the fruit comes from their own estate vineyard, and the other half comes from different parcels across the County. A great reflection of the big and hot 2025 vintage. This is fruity, layered, and expressive.

The nose is filled with ripe orchard fruit, and also layers such as a hint of tropical fruits. The palate is rich and fruity, but maintains the classic PEC acidity. Yellow apple, pear, peach, and finally, a great stoney finish. A very versatile wine! (Carl Boucher, November 8, 2026).

2024 Closson Chase Vineyard Pinot Noir 🔥 93pts

$40.00

Spectacular! A great reflection of the Closson Chase site, with 25% South Clos and 75% Churchside grapes. Pound for pound, the quality to price ratio on this wine is outstanding. In my opinion, this is the perfect postcard of what Closson Chase does!

Expressive nose of red berries, crushed raspberries, leather, forest floor and light spices. The palate is precise, vibrant, expressive, and full of tart cherry, cranberry, bit of blackberry, sweet tobacco leaves, and chewy tannins. Spices pop up past the mid palate, and a feeling of graphite lingers on the finish. (Carl Boucher, November 8, 2026).

93pts Carl’s Wine Club

2023 Closson Chase The Blackwood Pinot Noir 🔥 94+pts

$125.00

Wow! One of the most serious and outstanding Canadian Pinot Noirs I have tasted to date. This first edition of The Blackwood Pinot Noir is a barrel selection of the top barrel from the Churchside Vineyard and the top barrel from the South Clos Vineyard. Yes, that means only 45 cases made, total.

The result is spectacular! This is where power meets elegance.

On the nose, black cherry, red cherry, potpourri, forest floor. The palate is concentrated, defined, and powerful. Flavours of black cherry, blackberry, cherry liqeur, oak spice, mushrooms, and a spectacularly long, lingering finish. Everything is in synch: the alcohol, the tannins, and the acidity. The oak is definitely present but also very well integrated.

This is a masterpiece and could easily stand side by side some of Burgundy's top Premier Crus. $125 might seem pricey for a Canadian wine, but it most certainly meets it's price point. In fact, it over delivers on my sky high expectations for this price point. Two enthusiastic thumbs up, Keith Tyers and team! (Carl Boucher, November 8, 2026).

94+pts Carl’s Wine Club

Winery Notes

A selection of two distinctive barrels—one from Churchside and one from South Clos—brings depth, elegance and concentration. The historic label revisits David Blackwood’s artwork used on early Closson Chase releases. Production: just 45 cases.

2025 Closson Chase Ridge Pinot Gris | 91+pts

$32.00

Bright, crisp and awesome! 100% of the grapes are from the Ridge Vineyard, the parcel right behind the winery's crush pad. Aromas of pear, peach, and yellow apple. Expressive and very true to Pinot Gris, but exciting. There's a pulsing acidity and multiple layers. That stoney minerality I love from PEC is right there on finish, which is not typical of Pinot Gris but DOES speak directly to the terroir of the County. Flavours match the aromas and can be very enjoyable over the next 3-5 years. (Carl Boucher, November 8, 2026).

91+pts Carl’s Wine Club

Winery Notes

Peach, apple, floral and honeyed aromas lead to a generous yet refreshing palate with mineral accents. Sourced entirely from Ridge Vineyard, fermented in stainless steel without malolactic fermentation. Production: 496 cases.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this work?

Carl's Wine Club is Canada's first pan-Canadian, direct-to-consumer wine club.

Being a member of the wine club is FREE and you have access to our informative emails and our live virtual events with Carl to learn more about Canadian wineries.

We feature a different Canadian winery every 1-2 weeks with a specially curated mix of wines. You choose if and how much wine to purchase, with winery direct pricing and shipping deals.

On Wednesdays (yes Wine Wednesdays!) we also go LIVE on our social media platforms to chat about Canadian wine and often interview winemakers. Cheers!

How does shipping work?

The wineries ship these wines to you via couriers like Canada Post, UPS, Purolator, ATS or GLS and the wines arrive right to your doorstep! No need to spend time or gas or manpower to visit a store.

Your wines will ship within 1-2 weeks of your order date, as wineries ship out our club orders all together in a few batches. You'll receive a tracking number from our system and sometimes also from the winery's system.

Someone over the legal drinking age must be present at the time of delivery and provide ID to the delivery driver (this is a legal requirement). Please do your best to ensure that an adult is available to receive the order on the anticipated delivery date.
