Chardonnay

Tasting Notes

The grapes for our 2018 Chardonnay were hand-harvested from premium, old-vine Chardonnay Lenko and Foxcroft vineyards in Niagara. This Chardonnay spent 7 months aging in French oak barrels to increase texture and mouthfeel. 

The nose is expressive with green apple, peach, ripe citrus, oak, smoke, and toast, with hints of ginger, vanilla and cinnamon. The palate reflects the nose, smooth with a wonderful balance of fruit, barrel notes and spices. The exceptional texture is immediately evident, as the richness of the mouthfeel enhances the flavors. The finish is long and complex, with a subtle nuttiness and contrasting bitterness becoming evident.
