Closson Chase Vineyard Chardonnay 2021 in Brampton, ON

This is sourced entirely from estate vineyards - 25% Churchside, and 75% South Clos. It was whole cluster pressed, fermented, then aged in French oak barrels, less than 10% new, and underwent full malolactic fermentation in barrel. Such a profoundly fresh nose of saline and oyster shells with apples, bergamot, white flowers, Meyer lemon and elegant spice notes. It's vibrant and pretty on the palate ... the stone fruits are on the ripe side, with stony/flinty minerality, a silky texture and a long, fresh, lifted finish. Really nice Chardonnay. Score - 93.
