  Reductive style, good acidity with some floral notes and easy slightly peppery finish. Not bad at all but I prefer some local Chards from the Bench (Niagara) area with better qpr.

  Pale yellow with developing aromas of ripe pear, mango, baker’s yeast, brioche, cedar as well as hints of vanilla. Medium bodied with a creamy texture, lively acidity and a bittersweet finale. Due to its developing structure this wine pairs nicely with smoked BC Salmon such as Sockeye, green salads with fruity dressings or medium ripe soft cheese. The grapes were handpicked and pressed as whole clusters in a pneumatic press, to allow a gentle extraction of the juice. Clarification by gravitation in steel tanks in a cold surrounding. Half of the juice was then fermented in stainless steel vats while the other half lay in oak barrels, whilst stirring of the lees. The result of this mixture is a vibrant white wine with hues of oak as well as a rich texture. Serve at 10-12°C in a White Burgundy Glass or a Standard Red Wine Glass. Silver Medal winmer San Francisco International Wine Competition November 2018.

  Nez délicat, fort agréable. En bouche rond et équilibré. Manque un peu d ampleur.

  Brightly yellow with distinct aromas of citrus fruit, sweet spices as well as barrel notes. Medium to full bodied with a refreshing acidity.

  Crisp and ripe.. aromas of apricot dry and refreshing.
  The wine looks yellow gold colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like peach and apple. The body is medium/full. The wine has bright texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.
