The Red Clay Barn Block of organically grown Chardonnay surprises and delights in the stellar white wine vintage that is 2023! With bright yellow and green plums on the fruited nose, and there's a surprisingly musky peach character that accompanies the trademarked lovely texture of the Red Clay Barn Block. It does feel like clay, but it finishes more mineral than one might think. The proximity of the Lakeshore and rich clays in this vineyard give us textures that resemble those of Niagara-on-the-Lake, yet with a stunningly rich, lively mineral tonality from the chalk in the soils.

A word from Mary: Bright and rich ‘Minéralité‘ on the nose.
