Gold – National Wine Awards of Canada 2018, WineAlign

Silver – InterVin International Wine Awards 2018

92 points – David Lawrason

The wine presents harmonious aromas of lime, wet stone, grapefruit with subtle perfume of apple and peach. Ethereal touch of residual sugar perfectly balances the fresh, mouth-watering and cool climate fruit hits and minerality. A lively, juicy joy that finishes long and brilliantly clean.

This wine is bright with brilliant lemon-green highlights. Fresh pear, yellow apple and Meyer lemon aromatics carry through on the substantial palate. Ginger and baking spice notes and a slight creaminess add complexity and weight through a lengthy finish.

This wine is delicious when enjoyed in its youth and will continue to reveal complexity and layers of texture with medium-term cellaring.

The layered 2017 vintage brings together the best of Old and New World Sauvignon Blanc styles.  Wet stone with intense aromatics of citrus, fresh cut herbs and touches of grapefruit.  Our wine delivers an impressive combination of juicy tropical fruit tones and refreshing minerality.  With zesty lime acidity and a lingering textured finish, it makes for a perfect accompaniment to seafood, ceviche and oysters.

The wine is a textured, elegant expression of this much-loved variety, with plenty of peaches and cream, wet stone with sweet oak spice notes throughout. There is a concentration without being heavy, rounded out by creaminess and mouth-filling character. The pleasure is that this is all uplifted by a delicate acidity and Beamsville minerality that gives so much appeal. Sophisticated, small batch crafted and splurge-worthy, it has become a cult favourite amongst serious Canadian Chardonnay fans.

This Chardonnay is fermented and aged for 8 months in 100% French Oak. Of the 6 barrels produced, about half were new oak. The wine saw full lees contact and weekly stirring which has produced a highly textured wine. About 50% of the wine went through malolactic fermentation to round out the edges.
