Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Stunning, this is a rich and flavourful Chardonnay that was whole cluster, barrel-fermented, with 20% new oak, and 100% malolactic fermentation. Aromas of golden apple, pear, hazelnut, and a touch of white florals. Medium bodied, smooth and creamy, with soft texture, and medium acidity. Fruit is rounded and ripe with rich tones, and a touch of nuttiness and vanilla on the finish. Enjoy with scallops or lobster.
Craig Haynes - WSET3 FWS SWS IWS rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This Chardonnay comes from grapes harvested in a single vineyard in Ontario’s Prince Edward County wine appellation.

The grapes have experienced 100% malolactic fermentation in a blend of new and seasoned oak barrels. This is key because of the result has created, a wine with an appealing assortment of buttery, lanolin, nuttiness, ripe stone fruit, and lime marmalade notes.

Medium bodied, textured, tongue teasing, with a lingering flavourful finish. This is a lovely creation from Closson Chase.

Closson Chase is located in Hillier, Ontario and their focus is Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and most recently Pinot Gris.
