Tasting Notes
The nose shows aromas of ripe golden apples, yellow plums, and hazelnut, all framed by a hint of sweet oak. This wonderfully balanced barrel fermented Chardonnay retains the freshness and brightness that Nova Scotia Chardonnay is known for while displaying light toasted oak and a richer mouthfeel and persistence. This wine is drinking well now and will develop in bottle for a few more years. Enjoy with creamy seafood chowder, seafood pasta or a traditional turkey dinner with all the sides.
Method
The 2022 Reserve Chardonnay was selected from the best blocks across Blomidon’s estate vineyards. Hand harvested and wild fermented in French oak barrels and puncheons, the wine was aged sur lie for 15 months before blending. Blomidon’s Chardonnays are always well received in national and international wine competitions. Locally, this wine was the 2025 winner of the Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Excellence in Nova Scotia Wines.
