NORMAN HARDIE |
| Here is the new just-tasted 2022 Niagara Chardonnay that was recently released by the winery at some 30+ selected LCBO stores. Bright medium straw colour. Very intense and complex with a toasty, ripe, lemon meringue pie nose with lots of minerally, cedary notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, well textured, rich, ripe, mouthfilling, lemon meringue flavours with a long, lingering, minerally, buttery brioche, key lime pie finish. Aged for 18 months (2 winters) in large format French oak barrels and bottled without filtration. It has 12.6% alcohol and under 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number L240919 on the lower part of the glass bottle. Screwcap closure. |

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: This 2022 Chardonnay is very much in line with the amazing 2015 and 2017 vintages. Beautiful bright citrus notes with great minerality on the pallet and a well-balanced, long finish. This is for those who are looking for Burgundian style Chardonnay as opposed to big, over-oaked California New-World Chardonnays. For those who are looking for Burgundy but can not the stomach the price, this is a magnificent Chardonnay that they will surely enjoy. Winery Website |
