Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This wine is fresh and vibrant, opening with a flourish of orange blossom, golden green apple, and pear aromas. A subtle note of vanilla adds depth to the inviting nose. The palate is layered and creamy. Pleasing juicy fruit notes of candied lemon peel, pineapple, and white pear come through with a touch of white pepper spice and brioche toast from the delicate oak aging. The inviting aromas, flavours and creamy texture and persistent acidity show a well-integrated wine that is incredible food friendly.
Winemaker Notes
This wine was 100% barrel fermented in a combination of French, American and Canadian oak barrels.
These barrels were a combination of new and aged barrels, and aged on the lees for approximately 12 months with batonnage. Full malolactic fermentation was used to create a creamy and round mouthfeel.
Food Pairing Notes
This Chardonnay will pair best with food flavours that are buttery, gently savoury, and balanced.
With seafood enjoy seared scallops with beurre blanc, lobster or crab with drawn butter or light cream sauce or grilled halibut or sole with citrus, fennel, or beurre noisette. This wine is also an excellent accompaniment to herb-roasted chicken. Mushroom risotto and lobster linguini are also favourite options. For cheeses, brie & Camembert, Gruyère, Gouda and Taleggio would match well.
