Malivoire has established itself as Ontario's rosé specialist, producing three distinctive and refreshing pink wines every vintage. The pale and powerfully aromatic single vineyard Moira is the flagship, while the crowdpleasing Ladybug is the brand champion, reigning as the best selling rose brand in the province. This new release of its Vivant label is a standout in its own way. It shone brightest at a recent tasting at the winery, in part because it had been in bottle the longest. Made from 100 percent pinot noir, it shows terrific fruity aromas and flavours, with impressive balance and length. It's dry and delicious. Recommended. (91/100)
