Negatives: None
Winemaker’s Note: “100% chardonnay harvested from the Estate vineyard September 9, 2018. Primary fermentation was conducted at cooler temperatures in stainless steel to preserve delicate fruit flavours. Triage bottling for secondary fermentation on March 14, 2019, then left for on the lees in bottle for over 50 months to create complexity and luxurious character.”
Pairings: Drink this now or in the next 5 – 8 years on its own or pair it with brunch.
My Opinion: Highly Recommended
