REVIEWS / AWARDS
“Giesbrecht himself makes a stunning 2006 non-oaked Chardonnay. The wine is fermented
completely in stainless steel with aging sur lie (a technique winemakers use to bring complexity and
depth of flavour to the finished wine. They age it on the yeast sediment – or lie). Bright and aromatic,
flavours range from vibrant apple to citrusy grapefruit and, yes, a hint of honeydew melon.”
