In effect, the benches are terraces that come at different altitudes of the Escarpment. The Frontier Block is so named because it's the last or “La Frontière” vineyard in Niagara before you get into Hamilton's jurisdiction. There’s lemon, of course there's lanolin, there's some slight baking spices, some slight white florals, yellow florals, orchard fruits, combined with complex citrus fruits, minerals, saline hints. It's tight. It's expressive. It's a darker minerality in the mouth, not a bright one! We're definitely feeling dolomitic limestone here, perhaps less salinity and a little more chalkiness. Note that this vineyard is in the Lincoln Lakeshore VQA, and, as such, currently not classifiable as Bench. But we know it is. We'll get there someday…\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eA word from Mary: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eLimestone-derived Anis on the mid-palate, white florals deliver perfume \u0026amp; crunchy limestone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eDrinking prime: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eNow – 2030\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eBest fruit window: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e2023 – 2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eCases produced: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e100\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachelder Niagara","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49752599691502,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0256\/0648\/8141\/files\/Bachelder_2024_Chardonnay_FrontierBlock-EditLR.jpg?v=1791929506","url":"https:\/\/shop.bachelderniagara.com\/products\/2024-frontier-block-chardonnay-grimsby-hillside-vineyard-vqa-lincoln-lakeshore","provider":"Bachelder Niagara","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
