Bachelder Wismer Vineyard Chardonnay 2011

Jon Steeves rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

Brilliant and bright golden cool climate Chardonnay. Declared 13.5% ABV. Tasting this wine was an elegant experience in balance, integration, terroir and excellence. The 2011 vintage from this small lot vineyard offers purity and finesse with every sip. Tasted after opening to breathe for an hour. Perfection in balance and integration. Blood orange, nectarine, blanched almond, vanilla on the nose and palate. A long finish with persistence of nectarine and almond. Medium plus body. Supple and smooth. Thomas Bachelder and his team have expressed the Twenty Mile Bench terroir with elegance and expertise in this bottle. Exceptionally smooth and tasty. Share this beautiful wine with a special occasion such as a festive turkey dinner, seasonal barbeque chicken, grilled prawn kebabs. Drinking easily on its own for those who enjoy a quality Chardonnay. Tasted 2011 vintage April 2017. 94 points. Bespoke Tastings

A rich Niagara Chard, showing delicious layers of apple, tropical fruit, allspice, buttery toffee and minerality aromas and flavours. Creamy texture and elegant lingering finish. A great gift wine, proudly Canadian.
Tasted March 2017 at Taste Ontario!

Craftsmanship is evident in this Niagara Chardonnay. This beautiful white wine has an amazing nose - I dare you to try and pull your nose out of the glass! Captured aromas include Niagara peach, apple, pear, blossoms, toast, butter, honey and vanilla. Every corner of the mouth is filled with rich and creamy texture. Flavour profile includes honey, honeycomb, toffee, burnt butter and a finish that goes on and on. There is cellar potential as well. I would love to experiment and taste this in 2-3 years. It's a date!! I'm enjoying this all on it's own.
