2023 Overtime Chardonnay

Release: 2023 Overtime Chardonnay

Wine: 100% Chardonnay

Winemaking Notes: Chardonnay continues to thrive in Niagara’s cool climate conditions, offering endless possibilities in style and expression. Cooler vintages like 2023 allow us to lean into a richer, more textured style of barrel aged Chardonnay while still maintaining the freshness and acidity that make the varietal so compelling.

Fully ripe grapes were gently harvested, destemmed and pressed before undergoing a long, cool fermentation designed to reveal the layered nuances of our vineyard terroir. The wine was then aged for twenty four months in older French oak, building texture, roundness and complexity while allowing the fruit to remain front and centre.

Golden in colour and generous on the nose, this Chardonnay opens with aromas of tropical fruit, buttery croissant, and candied pear. The palate is rich and creamy, showcasing flavours of stewed peach, apricot jam, apple pie filling, and fresh mango. A long, silky finish is balanced by lively acidity that keeps the wine fresh, focused, and endlessly inviting.

Approachable now yet built for cellaring, Overtime Chardonnay will continue to evolve beautifully over the next eight years.
