Tawse Daniel Lenko Vineyard Chardonnay 2011

Who knew that someone else could make good wine with Daniel Lenko's old vines grapes (planted in 1959 - now that's old) ... proving that maybe it's not the winemaker, maybe it's the grapes. Nose has tropical notes, including banana, and an alluring aroma of butterscotch. Flavours are peach pit, toffee, baked caramelized banana with a full mouthfeel, good acidity and a long finish. A beauty of a wine but only 4100 bottles made so don't hesitate to purchase. Score - 4+ Stars (out of 5). (Michael Pinkus, grapeguy.ca, March 28, 2014)
