This Chardonnay spends 13-14 months in barrel on lees to develop complexity and secondary flavours. It’s a two vineyard blend from both Glenlake and Fruithaven and ends up being a barrel selection when the time is right. It’s a fruit forward affair full of peach and pineapple but with pleasant barrel backing like smoked-vanilla and spice notes … all would be lost though if not for that great telltale Ontario acid seam constantly running right down the middle.
