Adamo Estate Winery, 2019 Chardonnay
When you think of sports in Seattle, you think of football, baseball, and even the former basketball team, it is a city known for almost every sport except hockey.
The newest NHL franchise, the Seattle Kraken are looking to make a mark in a city that is just introduced to professional hockey.
This year Adamo Estate Winery is paired with NHL teams in non-traditional hockey markets.
Why?
Because generally people don’t think of the Hockley Valley (about 1 hour 30 minutes north of Toronto) as one of Ontario’s wine growing regions. Adamo Estate Winery has the ambition and drive to change this and when you enjoy a glass of Adamo Estate Winery 2019 Chardonnay while watching the Kraken and reflecting on how Seattle is the new franchise in town and looking to establish themselves.
Wine Details
From the winery:
Appearance: A bright golden straw colour with silver hues.
Aromas: An intense bouquet with lots of flowers, cantaloupe melon and blood orange with hints of vanilla and guava. Underlying notes of ripe citrus fruits and pear.
Palate: An elegant wine focused, tight and fruit driven on the palate. A nicely balanced wine on the freshness with minerality and spices, flavours of pear, ripe lemon, toasted brioche and oak add structure throughout. Underlying hints of apricot round out this complex and tightly focused Chardonnay. This refreshing Chardonnay Musqué drinks well on its own and pairs with fresh seafood and barbecued chicken.
