Bright gold in colour with a medium to medium+ intense nose.
An easy drinking and quality Chard from a small Ontario winery
Positives: This wine features light buttered toasted oak, pineapple, lemon, dill, mandarin and peach pit. Medium+ body with good acidity & a fairly long length.
Negatives: There’s some heat from the 13.5% alcohol
Interesting Point: I like their new labels
