Trius Distinction 2020 Chardonnay is a dry, full-bodied and creamy barrel-fermented Chard from the Niagara Peninsula wine region. Fresh on the nose and palate with lemon tarte, apple, baking and toasty oak spice flavours generous, rich and rounded. The Chardonnay grapes for this vintage were fermented in oak barrels and then rested for 12 months on its lees giving the wine a silky mouthfeel. Pour with a lobster mac n cheese.

Chardonnay food pairings: pan seared scallops, pasta with a vodka cream sauce, grilled tiger shrimp, chicken skewers.

From Trius, Distinction 2020 is a dry, full-bodied, barrel-fermented Chardonnay with grapes sourced from the Niagara Peninsula wine region. Rich and rounded on the palate with baked apple pie, lemon curd and toasty oak spice flavours generous and juicy on the palate. Chill and enjoy it with a traditional roast chicken dinner. - 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.
