A good example of the dry, elegant, understated style of Chardonnay that Canada can do, similar to Burgundy.

This wine had some nice complexity. The key is, to drink it at 11C or 12C. At 12C when I took it out of my wine fridge, I was getting aromas of candle wax, hazelnut, and butter. The taste was butter and apple. Nice long finish.
As the wine cooled down in my wine chiller, the complexity really got muted. So again, try this at 11C or 12C. I wonder what temperature this was served at in the National Wine Awards of Canada. If it was at 12C, I bet this may have won Gold.
