This Chardonnay is subtle, intricate and mysterious, with defined edges. And yet, the texture is very sumptuous and voluptuous. From a very special block of the of the Wismer-Foxcroft vineyard on the Twenty Mile Bench, the “Parcelle Nord” consistently produces one of the top Canadian Chardonnays, independently of the vintage. The nose offers aromas of zesty lime, sweet lemon and jasmine flower while the palate shines with a spectacular level of flinty minerality. The flavours are so well put together in a thoughtful sequence of orange tea, lime, lemon, white peach, hazelnut and sea ocean water, while the texture is linear but soft and sensual. The finish is so very long and offers white pepper, cardamom, cinnamon and a splendid saltiness that reminds me of a grand cru Burgundy. The crazy thing with this wine is I believe there is so much more to come. The crown jewel of the Niagara Escarpment. (CWC, December 12, 2023). 72 cases made.
