Reviews and Ratings

Irina Omari rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

One of my favourites canadian chardonnays. Very rich, full bodied wine. Nice clear, medium golden colour. Clean nose with pronounced oak flavours, apple, vanilla. Dry wine with medium acidity and with pronounced toasty notes, some vanilla, ripe peach and hazelnut. This wine won quite a few awards including gold medals in Canadian wine challenges and definitely a great example of cool climate chardonnay. Highly recommend.
An impressive French-oaked aged Chardonnay, showing classic vanilla, spice & hazelnut with a refreshing acidity for solid aging potential. These Rich, intense flavours, are well balanced and leave a lovely & lingering tropical fruit finish.
