Tasting note
There's excellent acidity, stunning flavour and persistent purity of fruit here. Gorgeous aromas of baking spice, caramel and orchard fruit unleash a balanced and beautiful wash of ripe pear and crisp green apple interwoven with nutty and mineral notes on the palate infusing the lively, refreshing finish. Pour on its own or with roast pork. Score - 4.5 Stars (out of 5). (Vic Harradine, winecurrent.com, Feb. 27, 2017)
A sweet floral, honey and hazelnuts nose is the first impression, under-pinned with rich tropical fruits and biscuity butter notes. The palate is rich, complex and loaded with textural pleasure. The oak is cleverly implanted, giving a seamless,silky smooth texture. Try serving it with creamy seafood risotto or a sweet corn and potato chowder.

Look for fresh tropical melon and peach flavours with just a hint of fresh baked pastries. Try this with roast chicken for a perfect match. Bravo to all 9000 cases. Fantastic value. As featured in Taste Magazine, Spring 2013. Consistently one of BC’s best Chardonnays, this elegant wine is full-bodied and crisp, with aromas of white peach, honey and delicate floral notes. It has flavours of pear, apple and toasty hazelnut notes that make it ideal for salmon dishes.
