From Pelee Island Winery, Vinedressers 2017 Chardonnay is vegan-friendly and produced from sustainably grown grapes from the South Islands, Lake Erie North Shore wine region. Fragrant with ripe apple, pear, quince, lemon zest, nutty, toasty oak and vanilla flavours silky and lithe on the palate. Very nicely done as is the price at $20.

Chardonnay food pairings: Poached salmon in a butter sauce, Spaghetti Alle Vongole, Caesar salad, tuna pasta bake, salads topped with mild hard cheese like Edam or Fontina.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

This is a lovely and well-priced Chardonnay from Pelee Island, with aromas of pear, golden apple, and honey along with notes of buttery oak. Medium bodied with medium acidity. Fruit notes are bright and balance well with richer, buttery notes. Enjoy with a classic herb roasted chicken with roasted fall vegetables.
Pelee Island Winery Vinedresser 2017 Chardonnay is an excellent value Chard at $18 from Lake Erie North Shore. Dry, vibrant and concentrated, with ripe apple, pear, vanilla and toasty oak spice flavours creamy on the palate. Acidity is brilliant on this wine made for food. Enjoy with roast chicken, pork roasts or a seafood Alfredo. - Community Wine Reviews
