Chardonnay Semillon 2019

750ML

WINEMAKER’S NOTES

While the season began with a wet cool spring, summer brought typical temperatures across Ontario. July was particularly warm and sunny with intense heat waves and high humidity. Early ripening grape varieties escaped the wild weather of late fall and the unusually early cold snap in November. Harvest extended into early December, sometimes taking place in the snow. Ripe, clean fruit was crushed, pressed, and inoculated with a selected yeast strain. The fermentation lasted a typical 10 days and it was aged in a mix of stainless steel and oak barriques. The final cuvée consisted of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Semillon 

TASTING NOTES

This wine offers aromas and flavours of apple, pear with nuances of citrus as well as vanilla notes due to ageing in oak. The texture is creamy with a nice balanced acidity. Pair with salmon, crab, chicken and shrimp with cream sauces and patés.
