Bachelder Frontier Block Chardonnay 2021

Tight, chalky, salty seashell minerality. A chiseled texture across the palate. There is NO other place in Niagara like this! Solid stone, musky yellow July plum fruit and marine-flavoured chalk ... a bespoke stony finish with a lightness of being. If not the expansive richness of the Vineland Bench, who cares? Fascinating, intoxicating: this lithe, tiny dancer impresses with its form, its ineffable lightness and crunchy stone finale! Tasted after the incredible ‘Trio from Vineland,’ this terroir clearly makes room for itself between the other ‘Grand Bench’ wines, with its lighter, lacey, jasmine-mint and lime-inflected complex sesame oil textures! Just 81 cases made.
