Chardonnay - Limestone Vineyard, 2020
Shipped and sold by Redstone Winery
VQA Twenty Mile Bench
THE NOTES: Made with the highest quality fruit from our very own Limestone Vineyard, this medium-bodied Chardonnay was barrel fermented using indigenous yeasts and aged 12 months in French oak. The 2020 vintage was warm and as a result the fruit was very ripe, producing a softer, rounder wine. It has very pronounced aromas of butterscotch, almond and red apple. On the palate, red apple and pear dominate with notes of baking spice from the toasty oak and sweet nuttiness linger on the finish.
THE PAIRINGS: This versatile Chardonnay pairs beautifully with seafood, fish, poultry or vegetarian fare. Enjoy it with grilled lobster, seafood risotto or butternut squash gnocchi in sage butter!
