WAYNE GRETZKY |
This tasty-toasty barrel fermented ready-to-enjoy blend of 55% Chardonnay and 45% Chardonnay Musque has a bright light yellow colour. The attractive bright nose has spicy, ripe, lemon-melon meringue along with minerally, vanilla notes. Dry, medium bodied, nicely textured, fresh, ripe, cantaloupe, lemon custard flavours with a llingering, bight, satisfying finish. This versatile, enjoyable, crowd-pleaser has 12.8% alcohol, 2.4 g/L residual sugar and a hefty 6.5 g/L total acidity plus a screwcap closure. Note that this was barrel fermented and aged sur lie for 12 months in 100% French oak barrels of which 25% were new.

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: This wine was vinified and aged sur lie for 12 months in French oak barrels, a quarter of which were new. It's actually a blend of 55% standard Chardonnay with 45% Chardonnay Musqué, which brings a lovely floral flourish to the tropical fruit, grilled lemon, yellow apple, custard, and sweet oak spice. Enjoy through 2028 with roast chicken or pork, chicken pot pie, or creamy brie. |
