I can tell you that Chardonnay plays the biggest role in this white blend, with additions of Marsanne, Rousanne, Viognier and Grenache Blanc for added aromatic complexity.
The wine opens with a soft aromatics of lemon pith and honeysuckle, which leads a palate that is at first creamy and mouth-coating, but finishes with a surprising bolt of acidity!
It is perfect with a sharp chill, but only shows more complexity as the wine opens up and warms in your glass.
Beyond how delicious this wine is, what I really love is the fact that Luke has created a blend dictated by what is already flourishing in Oakville.
He has found a way to celebrate the small white grape population from Oakville in this tiny-production wine by working with nature rather than against it.
It’s exciting, it’s new, it’s special, it’s what the future of winemaking will be all about - experimenting with new sites and nontraditional blends that will change how we all drink and enjoy!
