2008 vintage, open March 2021, OMG this is incredible. The viscosity and balance is off the charts. The typical fruit is now gone, but the vanilla and texture is near perfect.

A chalky and citrus-laden chard with a steely edge. Another example of 🇨🇦 wines getting better every year.

The 2006 Rusty Shed Chardonnay is a blend of four blocks of Chardonnay on the Flat Rock Property. Grapes are hand picked and hand sorted before whole bunch pressing takes place. It was then cold settled in stainless steel, 100% barrel fermented and left on the lees for 10 months. Wild and commercial yeasts were used for primary fermentation, followed by malolactic fermentation to soften the natural acidity. The result?
Beautiful example of a mid to full bodied Chardonnay with butter, vanilla, apples and light spice on the palate. A lot of flavour and elegance at this price point. Sampled this 2006 in 2017 but this should sit well and perhaps develop more for a few more years. Best part? It's from Niagara! Loved it!

Flinty with good balance of oak and acid. Impressive. $25
