Black Bank Hill Chardonnay 2022
Lincoln Lakeshore, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaEstablished by vintner Taylor Emerson in 2017, Black Bank Hill is focused on single vineyard wines from the Niagara Escarpment. The 2022 Chard comes off their Lincoln Lakeshore estate, and clones 95 and 548. It was native fermented in used French barrels, where it remained for 18 months on lees, and was bottled without fining. Perfumed white florals, bright lemon flood the lees-decked palate, kissed with French cream, spiced with toast, and lingering with crushed stones. A creamy, fuller (14.4%) chard with lovely structure, this is drinking well now and will continue over the next few years easy.Tasted: 09 January 2025Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $50.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
