The Devotion Chardonnay
On Seven is a relatively new boutique Niagara winery owned by passionate wine aficionados Vittorio & Sula De Stefano. The De Stefanos bought an abandoned 7 acre vineyard (hence the name) in 2009 in Four Mile Creek, and under the guidance of consultant viticulturist and founding winemaker Peter Gamble, prepped the site for 3 years before replanting in 2014. The heavy clay loams are laced with calcareous deposits, and sloped north to maintain freshness. The philosophy from the beginning was to be 100% organic certified, and produce wines with minimal intervention. The Devotion is a barrel selection of The Pursuit Chardonnay 2020, and mixes Dijon clones 76, 95, and 96. This was whole cluster pressed and transferred to French oak barrels (20% new) for native fermentation and 20 months aging. The wines were coarsely filtered before bottling.
