Chardonnay, Niagara, Ontario

Winemaker Thomas Bachelder is an Ontario wine legend! A Canadian who studied & made wine in the fanciest houses in Burgundy before coming back home to make wildly expressive wines that treat our local terroir with the tender loving care it deserves. Made from low-yielding, older vine Chard grown across the Peninsula, this is a judiciously oaked white, it’s like meeting a really classy older mentor figure in your field who you immediately deeply vibe with even though you feel like something of a scrappy pup in their presence. The most perfectly restrained amount of floral perfume, satin pyjama texture, broad palate. Grilled peach, slatey minerality, saltwater taffy. BIG Cape Cod energy, drink while wearing nautical print shorts & hanging out with an aging golden retriever.
