Fresh strawberries 🍓 Light and crisp — 8 years ago
The 2006 Rusty Shed Chardonnay is a blend of four blocks of Chardonnay on the Flat Rock Property. Grapes are hand picked and hand sorted before whole bunch pressing takes place. It was then cold settled in stainless steel, 100% barrel fermented and left on the lees for 10 months. Wild and commercial yeasts were used for primary fermentation, followed by malolactic fermentation to soften the natural acidity. The result?
Beautiful example of a mid to full bodied Chardonnay with butter, vanilla, apples and light spice on the palate. A lot of flavour and elegance at this price point. Sampled this 2006 in 2017 but this should sit well and perhaps develop more for a few more years. Best part? It's from Niagara! Loved it!

Winner of the blind CF. Simple inexpensive wine that packs it! — 9 years ago
Light bodied with a mushroom earthiness, cherry, vanilla and spice. Great length. It paired excellent with my Christmas turkey and all the fixings. About $40/bottle. — 9 years ago
I absolutely love this Chardonnay!! If you come across a 2010 somewhere but it immediately and drink, buttery and delicious. — 10 years ago
Thanks @eugene_vin for this bottle! Fleshy, rich Chardonnay, very Meursault-like in style w toasty nuts, floral & spice complexity. The intensity & ripe nature of the fruit flavours (vs subtlety) being one of its only signs of New World-ness. Yummy. — 10 years ago
Very light, almost as a substitute for some white wines! Low on alcohol! — 10 years ago

Fantastique!!! À acheter à la caisse. — 10 years ago
Bright cherry color, red fruit, cranberries, currants, herbal notes, hint of EA/VA, pretty decent structure for something so light in color. Good stuff from the VQA wines — 10 years ago
