ROSEHALL RUN JCR Chardonnay 2011
My wine pick this week is from Rosehall Run located in one of Ontario’s newest VQA regions, Prince Edward County.The county is situated just under 2 hours east of Toronto. Both Georgia and I have been hosted several times by Lynn and Dan Sullivan the proprietors and winemakers at the winery including when we did a photo shoot for Pie Magazine a year or so ago that involved a rusty old tractor and sparkly gowns!
Susanne’s Wine Pick
PEC’s area soil’s have a stark resemblance to France’s Burgundy Region,where Chardonnay are world renowned. Chardonnay reigns supreme in the county too and my pick the ROSEHALL RUN JCR Chardonnay 2011,is a testament to that having recently won the prestigious 2014 International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC): SILVER OUTSTANDING Award.
This Chardonnay enticed me with its fruity aromas of golden delicious apple, and yellow pear. The 2011 cool summer helped hold the great aromatics and crispness that makes County Chardonnay so appealing. I love it. Delicious paired with a creamy BRIE or milk chocolate. Available through the winery, many fine restaurants in Toronto and the LCBO. $29.95 in our market.
The Wine Ladies at RoseHall Run for the PIE Magazine photo shoot…. the rusty tractor served as a great back drop.
