Apple and pear with suggestions of peach, lemon, and vanilla. Dry and medium bodied. Great value Niagara Chardonnay well suited to roasted chicken and turkey.

Yummy and crisp. So pleased with the fresh mandarin orange, nectarine and crisp apple notes. It’s light-bodied and easy drinking moderate acidity and lingering white grapefruit notes. I recommend! Tasted March 2018 by @sommsosa
