There aren’t many wineries using Canadian oak, I can think of but a handful who put it on the label, while French, American and now Hungarian (or Eastern European) seem to be used judiciously throughout. This is a very pretty Chardonnay with lots of vanilla and toasty notes but also with a fair amount of fruit: peach and mac apple come to mind first … it’s all done in a gentle and subtle way in that typically Canadian-style of excuse-me oak (didn’t mean to bump into your fruit). Price: $21.95 – Rating: ****
