“This Chardonnay is exactly why terroir is important, why we clamour for regional authenticity, and why it so exciting to watch how Ontario has been able to express this grape in so many wondrous ways. Prince Edward County just might be the most profoundly mineral laden region in Ontario, and it is manifested in both the Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. This 2022 version of the estate Chardonnay from Trial is Exhibit A for County minerality, with such a stylish nose of crushed oyster shells, matchstick, and wet stones that marry perfectly with the lemon tart, ripe pear and apple with fully integrated spice and savoury notes. The palate reveals more of those profound reductive notes (which, by the way, Brisbois considers a trait aligned more to the terroir of PEC than winemaking style), fresh saline and sea saltiness followed by lemon tart, quince, bergamot and subtle spices with a long, incredibly lifted and finessed finish. Go get some while it lasts!

Hand harvested from our estate vineyard and pressed whole cluster. Settled in stainless steel and put to barrel where fermentation completed naturally. Aged on fermentation lees, full natural malolactic completed. Aged for 10 months in a 50% 2nd fill French oak and 50% 4th fill French oak. Bottled unfined and unfiltered with 50 ppm total sulphur.

Fresh lemon juice, wet rocks and slight spice on the nose. This Chardonnay is a very delicate expression of the Trail Estate Vineyard. The palate is light, with bright acidity and ample citrus flavours.
