| THE PURSUIT CHARDONNAY 2021 VQA Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
ON SEVEN |
| Bright medium yellow colour. Intense, complex, slightly spicy, minerally, penetrating, lemon-key-lime fruit with some waxy, toasty brown butter notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, quite rich and concentrated with fairly high acid, lemony, gentle browning apple flavours followed up by a lingering, well textured, harmonious, bright albeit somewhat maturing finish. This would be the perfect foil for a rich classic French lobster bisque. Aged for 20 months in French oak and bottled on June 13, 2023, it has 13.6% alcohol, 2 g/L residual sugar and a hefty 7 g/L total acidity. On Seven produces three tiers of Chardonnay in very limited quantities: this one, the entry level is called Pursuit, the premium Devotion, and an ultra-premium cuvée that is just called On Seven. |

| TASTING NOTE: This elegant white wine offers aromas of ripe golden apple, toasty vanilla and a hint of fresh baked brioche. The palate is rich yet balanced with a creamy texture and vibrant acidity. Much like Canadian diplomacy, this wine manages to be both assertive and polite at the same time. I'd pair this with a caramelized onion and aged cheddar tart where the flaky buttery pastry melts on your tongue while the sweet onions and sharp cheese zing across your palate. Drink: 2025-2031.
