Butterscotch and baked bread on the nose of this inviting, robust white. The palate opens up with green apple and melon. Full-bodied, generous and delicious!

Reviews and Ratings

Sara Wiseman rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

I had this wine with a special dinner celebrating the Canada Day long weekend with family. It was delicious, sipped while we prepared food and then with the meal. For a white wine, it is substantial; lots of body, fruity and woody. I'd say you would definitely have to be a fan of oaked chardonnays, or you might not like this one. On the other hand, for men who presume white wines are too lightweight this wine might be a nice surprise! This wine went nicely with our vegetarian Mediterranean meal.
This is a dry, full-bodied and beautifully creamy Chardonnay with ripe stone fruit, lime zest and a touch of oak spice balanced with good acidity on the palate. Nice weight and creaminess on this Chard from lees ageing.
