Southbrook Triomphe Organic Chardonnay 2019

The fruit for this Chard is sourced from various organic growing partners in Niagara and is aged in 300L neutral French oak barrels for 10 months. It’s highly aromatic on the nose with ripe pear, golden apple, pear, bergamot, and freshening salinity with a touch of flint. It has a creamy texture on the palate with ripe orchard fruits, lemon curd, understated oak spices and a juicy, lifted finish. Delightful now or with a bit of cellaring. [Drink through 2024+.] Score – 91. (Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, May 22, 2023)
