Natalie's Score: 95/100

On Seven, The Pursuit 2018, is a Southbrook Chardonnay from a difficult vintage. Summer drought was an issue in the young vineyard and cluster thinning to one bunch per shoot did reduce the crop and also lessen the burden on the young vines. The estate fruit was hand-harvested and whole cluster pressed. After settling, the wine juice was transferred to French oak barrels (20% new) for fermentation with up to 18 months aging in barrel. Dry, medium-plus-bodied and zesty on the palate with ripe pear, apple, white-fleshed stone fruit, vanilla, nutty and toasty oak spice flavours on this elegant Niagara-on-the-Lake wine region Chardonnay. Drink or hold.

Chardonnay food pairings: roast pork and corn niblets, veal chops, turkey.
