Reviews and Ratings

Philippe Perreault - Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Light yellow/green color!

This full bodied complex wine has aromas of pineaple, vanilla, mineral, green apple, floral and citrus.

Crisp acidity and long on the palate.

Serve this wine at 10-12 degrees.
Pair it with creamy cheese, St-Jacques shells or swordfish with fruits salsa.
This wine can be aged 8 to 10 years.
Irina Omari rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

It a very good traditional style chardonnay. One of the only canadian chardonnay to get quite a few medals in France. It was fermented and aged in French, American and Hungarian, I personally like when the winemaker experiments with different barrels and I love a strong aged chardonnay. You get all the aromas that you expect in full bodies chardonnay, green apple, citrus, pineapple and a bit of vanilla and butterscotch.
Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

A full-bodied Chardonnay from Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontatio. Aromas and flavours of ripe bananas, pineapple, apple, lime and oak. Rather oily mouthfeel.
