Tropical fruit, butterscotch, toast and lemon on this delicious Organic Chard. Good acidity and balance, very appetizing.
Tasted Nov. 2018
Craig Haynes - WSET3 FWS SWS IWS rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Produced by Canada's first biodynamic winery, this chardonnay from Ontario's Niagara Peninsula appellation shows appealing aromas of green apple, pear, lemon and peach. Medium bodied and features pleasing notes of apple, pear and minerality on the palate.
Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A certified organic Niagara Chardonnay packed with flavour. Gorgeous nose with complex palate, and a slight earthiness. Full bodied, medium plus acidity, stone fruit and a hint of lemon lime. Pairs with flame grilled chicken. Tasted 2016 vintage in August 2018. 89 points
Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Yellow fruit, white flowers and fresh clover notes. Also a hint of dried sandy stones. Flavours are bright with earthy yellow plums, yellow bell peppers, almond skins and soft dried flowers. Acidity is high, with a full plush mouthfeel showing sandy minerals and scallions. Pair with buttered scallops and pate. 89 points - tasted November 2018

Nice power behind this Chardonnay with a bit of charred oak and popcorn on the nose and palate. Caramel notes.
Jennifer Carter rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Fuller bodied, lightly oaked chardonnay. Smells a little dusty, and yet like caramel, apple and honeysuckle.
Southbrook Triomphe (2016) is made from organically grown, full-bodied and dry Chardonnay from the Niagara wine region. This Chardonnay is oak aged. - Community Wine Reviews
