The only thing predictable about a Niagara summer – is it’s unpredictability. The fruit for this wine was harvested only a few weeks before winter officially kicked in. But there is nothing frosty about this wine- Our furry mascot on the label is sunbathing … just like the grapes in the bottle. The extended time on vine gave us some more ripeness – and the flavour profile reflects this.
The flavour profile definitely reflects the extra time in the sun with a symphony of fruit flavours that seems to reflect everything that’s great about Niagara Chardonnay – notes of apple, and peach. But there are also whispers of tropical with pineapple, and mango. The finish is long with hints of spice.
We generally don’t like to throw out specific food pairings – but fully acknowledge that Chardonnay is one of the most difficult wines to set next to food. Thanks to high acidity this should be an easier task with this bottle.
Enjoy now or over the next decade.
Best paired with good friends and a second glass.
