This stunning chardonnay fulfills the expectations created by using only fruit from vines planted in 1959, Canada’s oldest vineyard. The opulent nose is exhilarating, reflecting the vineyard and the warm summer of 2022. Apple, pear, citrus and minerality abound, with toasted oak and subtle tropical fruit notes rounding out the aromatics. On the palate, this Chardonnay is a perfect balance of rich texture and layered flavors, as the complexities of the wine come together for an extraordinary tasting experience. Poached pear, yellow apple and tropical fruits are complemented by oak, a subtle toasted nuttiness, ginger, spice, with an ever-present minerality in the background. The wine transitions elegantly into a lingering luxurious finish that continues to reflect the delightful nuances of this wine.
