Muscedere Vineyards 2005 Canadian Oaked Chardonnay

Of late I have been talking to winemakers who are having dalliances with a variety of wood – that might sound dirty but what I’m talking about is oak. Hungarian seems to be popular, “Eastern European” is another popular answer and Bulgarian is starting to crop up along with the usual French and American barrels; but very little is ever mentioned about our own homegrown Canadian oak. So I have to hand it to the boys with the Italian roots for staying close to home for a barrel or two of Chardon...

Ridgepoint Wines 2004 Medium Dry Riesling

Sometimes you take a sniff of a wine and get a familiar scent that you can’t quite put your finger on … well, that isn’t the case here. This wine is predominantly apple, yellow Delicious I would say, with hints of lime tartness. On the taste, more apples, this time a Spartan – because while it does have apple sweetness, there is a bit of a tangy zing, so it’s not too sweet. Finally, there’s a lingering apple finish, which is reminiscent of Granny Smith … so this one is apple from start to fin...

Southbrook Winery 2004 Barrel Fermented Chardonnay

Southbrook has always been known for their award winning Triomphe (Reserve) line of Chardonnays, but this little barrel-fermented beauty shows they are making great Chardonnay at both ends of the spectrum. With the wine making team of Steve Byfield and Ann Sperling and an imminent move to Niagara scheduled for early 2007, we’re expecting even greater things from this winery. But considering that Miss Sperling joined at the end of 2005 – this Chardonnay is a pure Byfield original. Notes of Pin...

Southbrook Winery 2004 Southbrook White

Vidals… they’re a dime-a-dozen in Ontario, from table wines to semi-sweets, late harvests to our luscious icewine, everybody’s making one in some form or another – but finding one that really stands out is a challenge. Enter Southbrook’s 2004 Southbrook White (a bronze medal winner at the Canadian Wine Awards). The ‘04 was made entirely from Vidal grapes, and yielded some fantastic results. Winemaker Steve Byfield has crafted this beauty as an anytime sipper. Tropical fruits on the nose with...

Colio 2002 CEV Unoaked Chardonnay

In this seemingly all oak all the time wine-world in which we live it’s good to see someone bucking the trend and moving forward with an unoaked product, namely this lovely offering from Colio. Starting off with the look: a beautiful light yellow colour in the glass; follow that with a quick swirl and sniff that brings out the citrus tones, lemon, sweet pink grapefruit and a mild mineral aroma. On the palate the same flavours follow: splashes of lemon and grapefruit. The wine itself does not...
