Leaning Post Winery Chardonnay 2021 Grape Varietals & Region: Chardonnay from Ontario, Canada. This is a perfect blend of Chardonnay grown in two different vineyards. The grapes from Grimsby Hillside Vineyard come from 3 separate blocks across 90 acres. Taste Profile: Aromas of white peach and grilled pineapple are followed by hints of spice like cardamom and sea salt. There is a beautiful creamy richness on the palate along with wet stone, grilled pineapple, warmed pine nuts, and hints of flint. Winemaking Process: Hand-picked and hand-sorted, the grapes were whole-cluster pressed and kept separate. The juice was allowed to settle prior to being racked to French oak barrels (25% new; 75% old) for fermentation by way of indigenous yeast and malolactic bacteria. Aged for 10 months, then bottled.
