What a terrific value Chardonnay… bright, crisp and full of energy! The grapes for this wine were mostly sourced from the Lincoln Lakeshore appellation (57% from the Senchuk Vineyard and Grimsby Hillside Vineyard combined) and the Beamsville Bench (43% from Hemeris Vineyard). 100% fermented in concrete tanks using indigenous yeast (wild ferment), this Chardonnay was aged for 8 months on its own lees to add a great textural component, bringing more substance and layers than I was expecting for the price-point (only $23…are you kidding me). On the nose, aromas of lemon curd, lemon meringue, orange blossom, pineapple and jasmine flowers are expressive announcing a burst of freshness. On the palate, flavours of lemon custard, Key lime, pear, and a hit of tropical fruits enhance the mid palate. On the finish, a wet stone mineral-like sensation adds length and textural contrast. To say that this wine over-delivers could be an understatement! A pretty big one! (Carl Boucher, November 23, 2024). 550 cases made.
