Like a Canadian version of old school white Rioja, this is a pure expression of coconut, melted butter and vanilla...
I have yet to meet a Canadian oaked wine that actually has good oak-fruit harmony. This fairly deep yellow chardonnay...

This is for those that like oaked chard, and a unique perspective that the entire process is from Ontario
Description: Deep gold in colour with a medium+ intense nose. This wine features toasted butter, spiced oaked, lemon, ripe pineapple, peach, walnuts, butterscotch, toasted marshmallows, vanilla and coconut. Full body with good acidity and a long length.
Negatives: None
Interesting Note: Truly a Canadian Chard with oak barrels from trees that grew near by, wild airborne yeast and estate grown grapes
Drink now or in the next 5-7 years on its own or pair it with Linguine and Lobster Scampi.
