The Pursuit 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 organically in 2014. This is primarily Dijon clone 76, planted 2014, with a small percentage of grapes from their 2015 planting of Dijon clone 95, and the 2018 plantings of Dijon clone 96. This was whole cluster pressed and transferred to French oak barrels (25% new) for native fermentation and 20 months aging. The wines were coarsely filtered before bottling.
"Hand-harvested, whole cluster pressed, French oak fermentation (25 per cent new, 75 per cent older (neutral) barrels). Selection of declassified barrels. Showing really well at this early stage, The Pursuit always impresses with its rich character, offering layers of tree fruit, savoury and nutty flavours. The balance is pitch perfect; complete with a vibrant undertow. Refreshing finish lasts and lasts. Drink now-2032. 164 cases (1,968 bottles)" - 94 points, Christopher Waters, Globe & Mail
