Bachelder Wismer-Wingfield Ouest Chardonnay 2019
Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaThomas Bachelder is one of Canada's leading chardonnay and pinot noir specialists honed through time in Bourgogne and Oregon and years in the vineyards of his Niagara home base. Ouest is a powerful, structural white sourced from a site under 7km from Lake Ontario, at 160m (the hill of Wingfield), and from 30-year-old vines on sloping, dolomitic limestone soils. After a native ferment, this rested in French oak (none new) for around 16 months, sans bâtonnage. Weighty and powerful, with honeysuckle, yellow plum, yellow apple, meringue, wild herbs, broken stones, lemon pith, wild herbs, and crushed flake salts that dot the palate, lingering on the lengthy saline finish. Drinking beautifully now and with time ahead.Tasted: 17 June 2022Tasted by: Prices:| ON | $47.95 | 750ml | winery online/direct |
