Closson Chase Vineyards
2022 Churchside Pinot Noir
VQA Prince Edward County
The nose is vibrant and expressive, revealing layers of bright red fruit, cola, delicate florals, warm spices, and earthy undertones of cedar. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied experience with a lively energy, slightly more vibrant than the South Clos. The fruit carries through seamlessly, balanced by a round, delicate texture. The wine’s bright acidity and well-integrated tannins culminate in a long, evolving finish that lingers gracefully.
Sourced entirely from our Churchside vineyard. Destemmed with no crushing and cold-soaked for 3-5 days. Fermented in 60hL oak tonneau, then aged 18 months in French oak barrels, 20% new. Full malolactic fermentation in barrel.
Grilled or smoked fish, roasted pork loin or tenderloin with a thyme/mustard sauce, or mushroom ragout pasta are also options.
