A pleasant, easy-drinking white wine made from the Chardonnay grape by Stoney Ridge Winery in Niagara (Vineland). This wine honours The Tragically Hip's album Ahead by a Century. Aromas of melon and apple with some butterscotch from oak aging.

Reviews and Ratings

This wine was introduced in 2016 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Hip's classic album Trouble at the Henhouse. The Tragically Hip Ahead by a Century (2016) Chardonnay is great value under $20. Creamy on the palate, look for crunch green apple, citrus zest and toasty flavours. Service chilled with a roast chicken and raise a glass to the Gord Downie. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
