✨ Technical Specifications
Embodying a deliberately opulent and wood-influenced profile under the Vin de France designation, this style of Chardonnay draws inspiration from heavily oaked expressions. Fruit sourced across French growing zones typically undergoes primary fermentation and prolonged aging in toasted oak vessels alongside extensive batonnage (lees stirring). Full malolactic conversion converts sharper malic acids into lactic notes, yielding pronounced textural richness, rounded volume, and prominent secondary aromatic layers.
🍾 About the Producer
"This Is That" is not an established, verifiable commercial wine, spirits, or viticultural producer. Exhaustive searches through international trade directories, appellation registries, and fine beverage catalogs confirm that no licensed winery, vineyard estate, or commercial distillery operates under this standalone name. Mentions of the phrase within viticultural contexts appear solely as idiomatic language in tasting commentaries, marketing descriptions, or references to Canadian broadcast media rather than an authentic bottling entity or domaine. Consequently, core viticultural details—including historical establishment dates, physical headquarters, estate ownership, vineyard acreage, terroir specifics, and trademarked bottlings—cannot be corroborated.
