THE BROCK CHARDONNAY 2021 VQA Niagara River, Niagara-on-the-Lake |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
CLOSSON CHASE |
This Vintages Essential has a bright medium light straw colour. This somewhat lighter 2021 has a fairly intense, slightly spicy, gently complex, lemon-apple nose with some some minerally, slightly cedary notes. Dry, medium bodied, bright, youthful very slightly spicy, lemon-apple flavours with a lingering, crisp, faintly toasty finish. It has 12% alcohol and 3 g/L residual sugar with a screwcap closure. Quite ready-to-drink. |

TASTING NOTE: Winemaker Keith Tyers has been working with the Chardonnay at Closson Chase for the past 20 years, understanding the vines and soils better than anyone. By splitting the blend between steel tank and barrel fermentation, he's crafted a Chardonnay that balances rich tree fruit flavours with subtle hints of oak spice, creating a round wine with a piercing acidic backbone that's so very Niagara. |
