"An absolutely magnificent Chardonnay, the 2014 Chardonnay Wingtine comes from clone 4 from a relatively old vineyard planted in 1982 (the Charles Heintz Vineyard) in pure goldridge soils. This wine was aged 16 months in 30% new French oak before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. A brilliant Chardonnay, with loads of wet rock, honeysuckle, white peach, pineapple, poached pear and brioche, the wine is fabulous rich, full, and as it sits in the glass, orange marmalade/tangerine oil begins to emerge. It is elegant, full, authoritative and intense. These 30+ year old vineyards have definitely given Sussman some great fruit, and he has exploited it perfectly . . . . These are truly handcrafted wines, bottled without fining or filtering, with indigenous yeast fermentations and low sulfite regimes. Most of the vineyards proprietor Eric Sussman sources at Radio-Coteau are certified organic or biodynamic."
