A New Niagara Super Star is Here: Dobbin Estate

Right from day one, Dobbin was set up for success, with one of Canada's most respected wine duos in charge of viticulture and winemaking: Ann Sperling and Peter Gamble. Their meticulous approach across many other winemaking successes in Canada and abroad is well known and multi-award winning.

Their first vintage was bottled in 2019, and it took the wine world by storm, earning high mid-90's scores and even being poured by the glass at a Michelin star restaurant. The newly released 2020 vintage is equally stunning, and available to us this week!

The Winery Story

Founded by Wade Dobbin, Dobbin Estate has not cut any corners to showcase the unique terroir of their estate and cuvee offerings. The highly prized estate property was purchased in 2018, and extensive studies of the land, microclimate and soils ensued.

Fueled by a passion for connection with local food paired with wine from his own region, Wade placed the world renowned duo in charge of the vineyard and winemaking from day one: Ann Sperling and Peter Gamble.

Their first vintage was released in 2019 with quick applause from wine critics. It's no surprise given the winemaking team, and the special site they are working with. The 2020 vintage follows right in those footsteps, with scores as high as 94+ points from yours truly and as high as 96 points from other wine reviewers.

Given that some of their vines are still young, and the winemakers are just beginning to tune in to the intricacies of their estate, there is so much to look forward to from Dobbin.

It would be wise for any collector, especially those fond of Niagara wines, to hang on to these 2020s and see how they progress alongside upcoming vintages. I always like to have at least 3 of each wine: one for right now, one in a few years, and one kept as long as I possibly can...
