Tor Chardonnay

 

On a recent trip to Mount Dora’s 1921 we found the extraordinary wine on the list.  It was listed for a steal so we decided to splurge and have a truly wonderful bottle of Chardonnay.  And it didn’t disappoint!

TOR is a project of Tor and Susan Kenward,

The main focus of Tor is vineyards.  They want to put the vineyard in a bottle and man they did on this 2019 Carneros Chardonnay.  The color was the first thing you notice lemon-yellow and beautiful. Then the nose concentrated aromas of apricots, dried pineapple, toasted almonds and smoke, followed by salted caramel what a joy to inhale over this glass. This wine comes from two main vineyards Hyde and Beresini vineyards in Carneros. Kind of Burgundian in a very cool way.

Super bottle of wine.  I doubt if you can find this anywhere but at this restaurant but it’s worth the trip to 1921 to get it.  Also if you want to know about our trip to 1921 here is what I thought about the place.  Eating Around Central Florida.

I am sure Two Old Hags can get the current vintage for you.

What a night, this is one of those wines where we give my friend toast. “May we never drink worst together”

Cheers,
