2012 Keint-he Chardonnay, Foxcroft Vineyard
The grapes for this wine come from the Foxcroft vineyard in Niagara, and put together by consulting winemaker Ross Wise – it also spent just under a year in barrel, but has come out with such wonderfully fully developed flavours that really sparks the imagination. Nose revels in aromas like stone fruit, vanilla and pineapple core; palate is even more exciting: buttery with pineapple and vanilla-peach … silky smooth on the palate with a real mouth presence yet also shows balance of acidity and a smoky-oak along with a vanilla laced finish.
