Township 7 Chardonnay Served to the International Olympic Delegation on March Visit to Vancouver Corey and Gwen Coleman were very excited to receive a call from the 2010 Bid Committee office in late February, indicating that the 2001 Township 7 Chardonnay had been chosen to be served at a gala dinner held March 4th at Season's Restaurant in Vancouver in honour of the IOC delegation and a number of Canadian dignitaries, including our Prime Minister. Township 7 Vineyards and Winery has been getting quite a reputation for their excellent Chardonnays (they produce an un-oaked version as well as a barrel-aged version) and Merlot , and limited quantities of both continue to be available at the Township 7 wineshop, at VQA stores, private wine shops in the Lower Mainland and in a number of Lower Mainland restaurants. Township 7 has received a great deal of attention from the local media - here's what some have been saying: “Township 7 Vineyards and Winery 2002 Chardonnay may not be a household name in the Canadian wine industry but we guarantee after you taste the Canadian Wine Awards White Wine of the Year you won’t soon forget the tiny Langley-based winery…. Our notes describe a wine long on style and one that shows some restraint. The nose is a mix of ripe apple and pear fruit aromas with just a touch of toasted oak and pineapple. It broadens out a bit on the palate with peach, pear and nutmeg flavours. The textures are creamy but the finish is relatively crisp with streaks of lees and flint in the finish.” - Wine Access, October 2003 “Township 7 Vineyards and Winery 2002 Un-Oaked Chardonnay – My first encounter with a Chardonnay from the Langley winery was a pleasant surprise: good aromas of melony fruit; a gentle, natural touch of sweetness; all kinds of tropical fruit elements. From the initial aromas to the follow-through on the palate to the soft and silky finish, it develops beautifully in the glass….” - Jurgen Gothe, The Georgia Straight, Sept 11-18, 2003 “Township 7 Vineyards and Winery 2002 Merlot – full of sweet, concentrated, dark fruit, balanced by sharp mint…the last bottles of the 2000 are drinking perfectly.” - Christina Burridge, Vancouver Magazine, September 2003 “British Columbia Winery to Watch – one of the leaders… Despite being a new, small winery, Township 7 already has enjoyed a great deal of success.
