2023 Aurelia Chardonnay
2023 Aurelia Chardonnay
VQA Prince Edward County
Grapes hand selected from specific blocks and barrels go into theses wines of distinction.
Produced in small lots.
Tasting Notes
Supple elegant Chardonnay displaying gorgeous mineral notes. White peach and lemon zest, hints of white flowers, crunchy stone fruit and wet river rock. Light vanilla notes from a subtle oak aging round out the bouquet. Fresh and ethereal, round and savoury all at the same time. Perfectly balanced Chardonnay.
Winemaking Notes
Grapes for our Aurelia Chardonnay were hand harvested, ripe and mature. Whole cluster pressed and settled well. Racked into 33% new French oak, 33% 2nd year and the rest neutral barrel. Fermentation continued into the Spring of 2024 occasionally lees stirring. Malolactic occurring towards towards the tail end of ferment. Wine was racked out of barrel and settled. Natural, gentle filtration. The very best barrels were selected for this small lot bottling. This represents the very best of what we make.
