Ontario Wine Awards - Gold & White Wine of the Year. The 2020 Chardonnay Tradition has an expressive nose with notes of lemon zest and green apple with undertones of crème brûlée. On the palate the wine reflects the nose with a fresh acidity that shifts to a creamy mouth-feel on the mid-palate, bringing depth to this lean style of chardonnay. This wine continues to round out through the finish with the subtlest hint of integrated oak spice from long élévage in predominantly neutral French oak barrels. Aged 16-18 months in French oak (20-30%) new. Alcohol: 12.5% Residual Sugar: 3 g/L 100% Wild Fermentation Vegan
