Bachelder Ivy and Warren Chardonnay Saunders Parcelle Haut 2021
Beamsville Bench, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaThis is a compelling chardonnay sourced from the Haut, or higher, southerly, portion of Saunders Vineyard on the Beamsville Bench. This shows a combination of zesty lemon, yellow apple, and honeycomb that's lifted by orchard blossoms. The fruit is restrained, yet there's a surprising richness to the palate that's beautifully balanced by a real sense of energy and carried by an undercurrent of chalky minerality to a long, satisfying finish.
