2017 Pillitteri Chardonnay Market Collection

A filigree and mineral Chardonnay The grape material for the Market Collection Chardonnay comes from vines that stand on red slate. This gives this white wine an interesting, animating minerality. The proximity to Lake Ontario leads to greater differences between day and night temperatures, which enhances the aroma and preserves the natural acidity.   And this is how the Chardonnay Market Collection tastes Wonderful aromas of citrus fruits, especially lemon and grapefruit, with undertones of green apple, gooseberry and honeydew melon push out of the glass. On the palate there are notes of apple, pear and peach, underlaid with white flowers and mint. Exciting hints of minerality, in the form of wet stone and flint. The acidity is delicate and well integrated. An expressive white wine that convinces both as a soloist and as a versatile food companion.
