Tonight's wine was a Christmas gift from a family member. This 2013 Big Head Chenin Blanc comes from the Niagara-On-The-Lake, Ontario region of Canada.
On the nose there is pear, honeydew melon, apricot, apple blossom, ginger, honey, saffron and minerality.
On the palate I am getting an overabundance of ripe fruit, apricot, mandarin orange, mango, pineapple, baked apple, lemon curd and wet rock minerality.
This wine is medium bodied with medium + acidity and there is a medium sweetness not overly sweet that lends to a well balanced, well rounded Chenin Blanc.
Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷

Summer in a glass! Tropical notes, very smooth. As good as it gets for Niagara whites!

Floral, straw, layers of honey. Great acidity. One of the best Chenin Blancs I have tasted from Ontario.

The 2013 vintage is golden straw colour and 13.3% ABV, 100% Chenin Blanc by winemaker #andrzejlipinski This off dry white is great with spicy Mexican or Asian fare. Aromatics of candied lemon, orange blossom, Asian pear, ripe golden delicious apple, and secondary of white pepper and a hint of canned mandarin orange. This is a beautiful Chenin Blanc with lots of acidity, mouthwatering, smooth and medium-full bodied, well balanced and integrated aromatics. Paired well with Mexican chicken tortilla soup. Enjoy 2015-2018.
