Winemakers Notes: The 2019 vintage was a bit of a cooler growing season. For classic, cool climate grapes this brought great intensity, nervy acidity, and a refreshing elegance. Wines from this vintage are quite age-worthy. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir fruit was hand-picked from Queenston Road Vineyard, whole bunch pressed, then fermented separately in stainless steel. The final 50/50 blend was chosen for overall balance and complexity. Picked: Sept. 16-20, 2019. Stainless steel initial ferment– aged over 46 months in bottle on lees before being disgorged.
