Sprucewood Shores Riesling  2009

Sprucewood Shores Estate Winery has been on a roll lately with their new releases. Three fanastic Chardonnay's, one barrel fermented, one with a little bit of oak and the third with no oak at all. With all the chardonnays going on their Riesling could easily be overlook but you will be missing a real treat if you do.

Excellent value paired with a fanastic Riesling make this a great summer time choice. Looking for a refreshing summer time sipper? This is it. It's light enough to sip on, lots of tree fruit such as peach and lemon followed by a wonderful mineral backbone to make this one the most complete, complex and balanced Rieslings sold in Essex County.

Pelee Premium Select Chardonnay 2006 Review

NOTES FROM THE WINEMASTER:
Pelee Island Winery presents its finest Chardonnay Vineyard. Our Viticulturalist has specially selected his most prized grapes for this wine. Only the highest quality, “free-run” juice - that which flows prior to any pressing - is fermented and aged in oak barrels.

These grapes were picked early on a mid-September morning when the Chardonnay grapes had reached 20.9 degrees brix. The grapes were sent to the winery via the Pelee Island ferry service. The Chardonnay grapes were then crushed and pressed and then transferred to a jacketed stainless steel tank where it is cooled to 15 - 16 degrees Celsius and allowed to ferment.

This Chardonnay makes a wonderful accompaniment to cheeses, seafood and white meats. Whatever you serve this wine with should be as delicious and full of wonderful light flavours as the Chardonnay itself.
