HENRY OF PELHAM |
| Bright medium straw colour. Classy, bright, ripe lemon-apple nose with some slightly toasty notes. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, well structured, ripe lemon-apple flavours with lingering, very crisp, faintly toasty finish. Very good effervescence. Made from 100% estate Chardonnay that was 20% barrel fermented and aged 54 months in bottle on the lees before being disgorged. Has 12.5% alcohol and 9 g/L residual sugar. The recommended best buy 2010 (***) was released on December 12, 2015 at $44.95. TONY ASPLER / 92-points / BEST BUY - Toasty, apple and vanilla on the nose; medium-bodied, dry, elegant, apple and lemon flavours; beautifully balanced with lively acidity and a lingering finish. |

A Best Buy |
| Winner of a Gold Medal at the 2016 National Wine Awards of Canada. TASTING NOTE: A very classy Blanc de Blanc with an intriguing nose of baked apple, citrus and grilled nuts which gives way to fine bubbles and vivid acidity. Delicate but concentrated citrus notes on the palate and finish with a long toasty finish. Tasted blind at NWAC June 2016. Score - 91 (Janet Dorozynski AIWS, Ph.D., winealign.com, July 15, 2016) |
