WHAT: Southbrook Triomphe Chardonnay 2007 (white) Rating: NNN
WHERE: Niagara Peninsula
WHY: Anything from a wine-making region within hitchhiking distance is obviously pretty low on the food miles. And when it comes from a vineyard that’s certified biodynamic – a more specific environmental threshold – you’ve got clear-conscience drinking. I will hazard a guess, however, that more than a few trees fell for this wine, which packs oodles of oaky perfume but enough citrus follow-through to keep things balanced.
PRICE: 750 ml/$21.95
AVAILABILITY: At selected Vintages outlets (product #172338)
