The newest Chardonnay in Thomas' Terroir line up, from the Mio Vineyard, fits seamlessly into Thomas’s vision. Expressive and generous, this wine exhibits a “Grimsby Hillside”-like delivery with a touch of “Foxcroft” Bench-style influence. Simply put, it’s absolutely spectacular.
Hailing entirely from the Lincoln Lakeshore appellation, this new addition is a standout from the start. On the nose, it offers enticing aromas of lemon meringue, pear preserves, golden yellow apple, seashell-like ocean spray, and a subtle floral note. The bouquet is wonderfully complex, simultaneously exciting and challenging.
The palate is rich and concentrated, delivering remarkable complexity. Flavours of white peach, lemon zest, blood orange, and pear greet the front palate, transitioning gracefully into a floral and mineral extravaganza with notes of lemon meringue and lightly toasted spices. The salty minerality, while not as prominent as in the Wismer Foxcroft, beautifully enhances the finish. The 2022 vintage is shaping up to be my favourite Chardonnay vintage since 2019.
