WESTCOTT |
| Bright medium straw colour. Intense, gently spicy, ripe, lemon-key-lime fruit on the nose with elegant, pear-tinged, toasty notes. Dry, medium bodied, well structured, bright, harmonious, very slightly spicy, intense, ripe, lemon-apple meringue flavours with a lingering, gently complex, harmonious, gently toasty finish. Perfect with poultry, it seems quite ready-to-drink . This 100% Chardonnay (clones 96 and 95) was barrel fermented with wild yeast and aged for 10 months in French oak. It has 13% alcohol, 3.8 g/L residual sugar and 5.7 g/L total acidity with lot number L0809231 on the lower part of the glass bottle. Assessed on March 11, 2025. |

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: This ended up as a blend of mostly the Westcott Home Farm and a bit of Butlers' Grant fruit. It was hand-picked and whole bunch pressed with no sulphur added at time of crushing and aged in 100% French oak (20% new) barrels for 10 months. This Chardonnay and the ones to follow are all wild fermented. Such freshness on the nose with stony minerality, pear, bergamot, yellow apples and gentle spice notes. Turns richer on the palate with quince, lemon tart, wet stones, subtle spices and a long, echoing, crisp finish. Score - 92 (Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, Aug. 6, 2024) |
