King & Victoria - Chardonnay, Upper Farm Vineyard, Creek Shores, Niagara (2023)

TASTING NOTES

Peach, pear, lemon, and pineapple, smooth, with a rich flavourful tangy lemon finish. Butterscotch, toast and cream provide a full, ample body with a long finish.

For the past 20+ years, the fruit from Hanck has been sold to local wineries and the name has appeared proudly on bottles of single vineyard expressions from Cloudsley Cellars (almost next door to King and Vic) to Bachelder Wines.

The owners (Rob and Liz Harold and Joe and Tracey Schenck) now manage all winery operations from vine to wine now that the winery is complete. The wines up until recently were made at nearby Cloudsley but now with the winery built, the wines going forward are crafted exclusively in house by Harold and Schenck.
