Bachelder Wismer - Wingfield Ouest Chardonnay 2018
Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaWinemaker Thomas Bachelder is effusive about the Wingfield parcel, calling it "simply incredible terroir, on a perfectly exposed, well-drained slope." It is the highest elevation and furthest from the lake of all the Bachelder parcels, and it's picked ten days to two weeks after the chardonnay sites. On the palate, this wine has it all: power, length, and transparency of terroir that gives its citrus, mineral, stony, salty flavours a complexity few chardonnays can claim. Chalk and persistence round out the finish. But, wow, this is something else. Bachelder says it is "surely destined to become a 'Grand Cru' if Canada ever classifies its vineyards and terroirs", and I couldn't agree more.Tasted: 22 May 2021Tasted by: Prices:| ON | $47.95 | 750ml | winery online/direct |
