Seems anti-Beamsville because of a gooseberry-marmalade character. Rather unlike any of the other CC SV’s....

A premium Ontario Chard that can compete with the best in California, but not have their price tag
Description: Bright gold in colour with a medium+ intense nose. This intense, edgy and complex wine features medium toasted oak, butter, lemon custard, crème brûlée, peach, granny apple, toffee, apricot, dill, creamed corn, tea leaf and pink grapefruit. Full body with good acidity and a long length
Negatives: None
Interesting Points: Closson Chase is one of my favourite Ontario wineries that produce full body Chards. This wine worked well in both Montrachet style glassware as well as in the cooler climate one.
Drink now or in the next 3 years on its own or pair it with Fettuccine Alfredo with blackened chicken.
Tasted: 16 Aug 2014
