Rich and buttery on the nose and palate without being heavy. A balanced and tasty Niagara Chardonnay that finishes with ripe peach notes and toffee from oak aging. Pair with roasted chicken.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Tasted in 2020. Smooth and creamy, with aromas of golden pear and apple, toffee, caramel, and buttered popcorn. Full bodied, creamy and smooth on the palate, with lots of toffee and caramel notes, ripe apple and pear, and a creamy finish with a touch of balanced oak flavours. Hand picked, hand sorted, and fermented in French oak, everything about this is lovely, and still showing lots of life at 10 years old. Enjoy with herb roasted chicken with grilled veggies, or rich seafood dishes in either creamy sauces and/or vibrant citrus.

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.

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.
