Creamy, tropical, peachy. The McWatters White Meritage, under the Time Family of Wines made at the Chronos Winery (formerly TIME Winery) is 55% Sauvignon Blanc and 45% Semillon; a portion was oak fermented and the wine was stirred on lees for three weeks post ferment.
Chronos is named for the Greek primordial god of time, aptly, and under the McWatters (named after founder Harry McWatters) label there are three wines.
Expect notes of grilled white peaches, vanilla, toasted pecans, lemon meringue, honey, lanolin, elderflower and glazed pineapple aromas. It has a sweet tropical character layered with nuts and honey before culminating in vanilla liqueur flavours. Good freshness to balance its mild sweetness and a persistent finish overall.
