2019 Stonebridge Reserve East Chardonnay

2019 Stonebridge Reserve East Chardonnay

Lailey Winery

This wine is made from Chardonnay clone 76 from the east side of the Stonebridge Estate vineyard, Block 14. The grapes were hand-harvested into small bins and kept clonally separate, then pressed and wild fermented in French Oak barrels. The low-intervention, wild fermentation took 2 months to complete in 33% new French oak puncheons and barrels. Wine completed its malolactic-fermentation at its own pace. This small batch was aged a total of 22 months in barrel before bottling. Only a small fraction of barrels were selected for this reserve batch. Wine has developed a complex nose of citrus and apple and hints of quince supported by a well blended bouquet of spices and vanilla. The acidity is fresh, hinting a long finish. Single Vineyard. Vegan Friendly. Appellation: Four Mile Creek, Niagara-on-the-Lake, VQAO Barrels: Primary, malolactic fermentation and elevage were all completed in the same barrels, 33% new French oak Billon barrels Alcohol: 13.8 % Cases Produced: 162 cases (including 36 magnum bottles)
