Essex Wine Review

Winemaker’s Notes:
Hand picked from single varietal estate vineyard this Chardonnay is quality right from bud break to the bottle. This wine acquired a higher concentration of fruit to create a full bodied flavour bursting with fruit. The wine was cold fermented for 12 days, preserving all elements but the sugar.

Tasting Notes:
Caramel apple with lemon peel and tropical fruit on it’s long clean finish.

Rate and Review Smith & Wilson Pink Cadillac 2008

Winemaker’s Notes:
The wine within this bottle is the culmination of twelve years of research and development. Three unique grape varieties blended together, provide you our customer with perhaps the first and only wine from our province made with homegrown sustainable cultivars. Disease resistance and cold hardiness are the hallmarks of these varieties. Please enjoy Essex County’s own wine, Colchester Cuvée.

GRAPES: A blend of three varieties, presently known as HG01, HG03, and HG04 (HG = Harrow Graft).
