tasting notes
This flavourful, well crafted Chardonnay is an exquisite expression of Ontario’s spectacular 2007 vintage. Creamy textures, refined and elegant, this Chardonnay exudes the layers of pear, lemon and vanilla along with the subtle nuances of French oak. Easy to enjoy, this wine delivers well defined fruit with a lovely seam of vibrant acidity; a savoury mix of freshness and crispness exceptional for food matching. Pairs well with roast poultry, pork or cream based pastas.
Ageing: Wine is drinking beautifully now but will continue to develop in the next 2-6 years.
technical notes
The Chardonnay fruit was harvested the first week of October, exclusively from the pristine vineyards of Château des Charmes in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Half of the cuvee was fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel to preserve the fresh fruit aromatics and the remaining was fermented in a combination of new and seasoned French oak barriques. The resulting wine was aged for 6 months with continuous lees stirring in French oak.
