Rate and review CREW Flagship Chardonnay 2010

Colchester Ridge Estate Winery (CREW)

Winemaker’s Notes:
Our racy white chardonnay begins with an enticing nose of ripe green apple and orange blossom. Dry and crisp, this white wine follows through with a substantial hint of apple and pear, laced with lime. The firm minerality comprises a startlingly refreshing finish.

A citris and apple nose hearalds this fruit-driven unoaked Chardonnay that is refreshment in a glass. Honey Crisp apples and Bosc pear coupled with the palate pleasing minerality, balaces this crisp and bright white wine.

Pair with cream based dishes, summer salads, seafood and more.

Winemaker’s Notes:
This very popular wine has a bright straw-like colour while displaying a clean, grapefruit-citric fragrance. It is grassy with good minerality on the palate. This Sauv Blanc has a clean, crisp finish. A great refresher on its own. Also excellent when paired with Poultry, Pork, or Sea Food.

Winemaker’s Notes:
The flamboyant bouquet of lychee and violet entices, while the spice enthralls. Our 09 Gewurztraminer transitions into a balanced citrus mouth, reminiscent of a marvelous exotic fruit salad – fully harmonized with a touch of spice and nutty caramel.

Colchester Ridge Estate Winery (CREW)

Winemaker’s Notes:
A traditional Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot gives this wine beautiful balance. Ripe raspberry and cherry flavours on the nose showcase the exceptional growing conditions of the 2007 season. The buttery finish is promising with hints of vanilla which will evolve with aging.
