Up-front intense grassy, gooseberry and floral aromas followed by a lush palate of pear and zesty citrus before a lingering finish. Think richer seafood dishes.
Lifted zesty and tropical notes before a generous, orchard fruit–toned palate with good mouthfeel, apple and tropical tones before a lingering fruity finish.
An excellent expression of Okanagan Sémillon, with up-front citrus and mineral followed by balanced fruit and acidity with tropical notes and a crisp, clean close.
Straw coloured with a lifted, floral nose of apple and almond; elegant, beautifully balanced and seamless with lemony acidity and a tangerine flavour. Great length.
Sourced from the rocky soil of L’Acadie Vineyards' certified organic estate property, this wine was given extended tirage over 5 years, which has added both richness and complexity. It shows bright gold/straw colour in the glass, with fine persistent mousse and elegant floral, lemon citrus and creamy brioche on the nose. Somewhat austere character conveyed by zero dosage is contrasted with creamy richness on the palate. Citrus and green apple flavours come through, together with signature Nova Scotia bright acidity and minerality.
Made from 30-year-old vines, this Chardonnay was barrel-fermented and aged in partially new French oak for 12 months. Peach, toast, anise, green apple, honey, white flower and vanilla are built on a medium- to full-bodied frame. Excellent length with a long mineral and citrus aftertaste. Pair with a pork roast or chicken in a cream sauce.
Tawse sourced the Chardonnay grapes for this wine via a fruit exchange with Huff Estates. The latter received Pinot Noir from Niagara in return. Deeply mineral; there is sweet vanilla, anise, nectarine, tangerine, spiced apple and pear rounding out the package. Great length and a crisp personality make for a perfect pairing with pickerel topped with a beurre blanc sauce.
