Pairing Portugal and Canada
Portuguese Tinned Fish and Canadian wines

Sometimes, a perfect pairing comes about unexpectedly. Meticulous refinement and graceful aging have transformed simple ingredients into exquisite masterworks - that are perfectly enjoyed together - like these wonders from Pillitteri Estate Wines and Da Morgada!

Pillitteri Estates Wines, the multigenerational gem of the Pillitteri family, transformed a small fruit farm into a Canadian treasure, pioneering Ice wine and Amarone varietals. If you haven't enjoyed Canadian Ice wine, you must! Enjoy this 2017 Family Reserve Riesling Ice wine.

Their flagship Ice wine presents classic aromas of candied lemon, poached pear, and mandarin orange. The palate is enriched with bright citrus notes, culminating in exotic fruit flavors like fuji apple and marzipan on the finish. Also enjoy their 2021 Fusion Gewurztraminer Riesling. This vintage Gewurztraminer-Riesling blend offers aromatics of green apple, lychee, and rose petal. The palate features Manuka honey, ripe peach, tangerine, and ginger, with bright acidity.

Da Morgada, curators of spectacular cuisine, found its footing when Manuel Maia decided to cast his net out along the Portuguese coast in search of rich and delicious delicacies that might otherwise remain unknown. Sometimes, the main ingredient is aspiration, with refinement effort, and wisdom applied.

This incredible selection of decadent tinned fish is filled with exquisite sardines in extra virgin olive oil, gourmet smoked trout, premium mackerel in Piripiri sauce, and delicately prepared octopus in olive oil for a truly luxurious culinary experience.
