Trumpour’s Mill ‘Estate Bottled’ Chardonnay 2008
VQA Prince Edward County $15.95 (111955) 13.0% alcohol
Crisp and refreshing, this delivers a nice stream of ripe tree fruit along with a welcomed gentle line of moderating acidity without a splinter of oak. Golden Delicious apple, red licorice-infused melon and hints of mineral meld perfectly with hints of spiced citrus fruit on the palate. Sip on its own or pair with steamed mussels Provençal.
