WINEMAKING NOTE: The Voyageur Chardonnay fruit in 2012 was grown from two premium vineyards on the Niagara Escarpment. These two portions were both hand harvested, whole bunch pressed, and then fermented individually in new and used French oak barrels. After almost twelve months undisturbed in barrel, the barrels for the blend were chosen and the wine was bottled in September of 2013.

TASTING NOTE: Green fruits and white flowers show through on the nose, with baked apple, pear and honeydew leading the way. Baking spice and meringue aromas and flavours are evidence of the wines time in oak, and time sitting on its yeast lees. The palate is the perfect balance of rich oak spice and refreshing citrus-like acidity.
