The 2006 Rusty Shed Chardonnay is a blend of four blocks of Chardonnay on the Flat Rock Property. Grapes are hand picked and hand sorted before whole bunch pressing takes place. It was then cold settled in stainless steel, 100% barrel fermented and left on the lees for 10 months. Wild and commercial yeasts were used for primary fermentation, followed by malolactic fermentation to soften the natural acidity. The result?
Beautiful example of a mid to full bodied Chardonnay with butter, vanilla, apples and light spice on the palate. A lot of flavour and elegance at this price point. Sampled this 2006 in 2017 but this should sit well and perhaps develop more for a few more years. Best part? It's from Niagara! Loved it!

Easy drinking for sunny days. Light red from Ontario with Beaujolais characteristics#canadianwine #niagarawine #screwcap — 7 years ago
Nice minerality and just enough oak to give depth and mouth feel without being an over the top smoke bomb. Good example of Ontario cold climate Chardonnay. #kewvineyards #ontariowine #niagarawine #chardonnay — 7 years ago
