Malivoire Wine  2010 Mottiar Chardonnay
92Points

The 3.2-hectare Mottiar vineyard is situated just above the town of Beamsville on the upper slope of the Niagara Escarpment. Only 100 cases of this exquisite wine are available. The nose shows elegant notes of poached pear, apple, apricot, vanilla, spice and a defining core of minerality. It displays beautiful finesse and layers of subtle fruit that swirl and change with each sip. This wine offers wonderful balance, racy and refreshing acidity and a pure expression of Bench minerality.
