Twenty-two months of barrel fermenting and aging might sound like a long time but somehow this Chardonnay soaked it up with gusto and the 50% new oak even added extra depth … a pretty floral note sits on this wine throughout wrapping the vanilla, butter, peach and apple cobbler in a pretty cocoon, while the acid bite on the finish keeps this in the realm of Ontario fresh and not California blousy … not surprisingly in limited supply at the winery.
