This Chardonnay comes from the Wismer family’s Wingfield Vineyard in the Twenty Mile Bench region of Niagara. This excellent site was planted in 1993 with clone 76. We have chosen to bottle this wine separately to showcase the unique characteristics of this vineyard.
"93 points. The Wingfield Vineyard and the single-expression above from Foxcroft are only 800 metres apart, but, incredibly, so different from each other every vintage. Wingfield was planted in 1993 to Clone 76. It’s aged for 18 months in French oak, 35% of which is new oak. It has an inviting nose of yellow pear and apple, lemon tart, pie crust, toasty spice notes and river rock minerality. There’s more of a savoury edge to the orchard fruits on the palate, and a touch of flinty reduction adding to the complexity of this layered and lacy Chardonnay that also shows citrus zest, nectarine, fine oak spices and a bright, finessed finish. Can cellar to 2029." - Rick VanSickle, Wines in Niagara
