90 Malivoire Forgotten Row Chardonnay VQA Beamsville Bench Niagara Peninsula Ontario Canada
Jefferson Davis
Hand-harvested from the Moira Vineyard, this went through primary and malolactic fermentation in a combination of neutral French oak barrels and 30% that were new. Ten months later the wine spent six months in mature oak. The result is nicely lifted aromas of sweeter apple, pear and peach hints. The expressive fruit flavours are accompanied by appealing toasty layers. Impressive focus and depth from start to finish. Terrific now through 2030. Winery $36
