WineScores' Review

Slick, creamy, fresh.
The family heirloom known as Covert Farms, is a 650-acre multi-functional regeneratively-farmed estate that was established in 1959 at McIntyre Bluff.
2020 marked the first ever Chardonnay ever produced by Covert Farms; the vines, planted in 2007 are rooted in estate glaciofluvial sedimentary soils. This Grand Reserve 2021 was barrel fermented then aged 9 months in French oak.
It has a nutty, buttery nose with crunchy yellow apples, honeysuckle, acacia and lemon aromas. Creamy in the mouth it's a juxtaposition of generous and juicy. Slick and beautifully balanced with a nutty, zesty finish. Excellent.

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.

We do not share your email address with anyone. Your email address will be used for the WineDiva newsletter You can opt out of receiving the newsletter anytime.
