Winemaking

The 100% Sémillon grapes were hand-sorted and whole bunch pressed. The wine was 54% stainless steel fermented while the remaining 46% underwent fermentation in Neutral French Oak barrels (20% which was new French oak). The barrel portion went through full malolactic conversion while the stainless portion did not. No fining.

Residual Sugar: 1.8 g/L

Love this elegant Sémillon from Time Family of Wines. Chronos 2020 is a lithe, creamy, 100% Semillon with ripe apricot, lemon pudding, vanilla and lightly toasted honeyed almond flavours on the palate. A real beauty of a Semillon, although the same flavour profile, different from the Semillons found in Bordeaux or Australia and stands in a class of its own as a British Columbia born, bred and raised, dry, medium-bodied, partially oaked and unfined Semillon. I also love the fact that it is only 11.7% abv. (two glasses please!). Chill and enjoy on its own or pour with pan-fried steelhead filets with a gentle squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
