Savoury and mouth-watering with toasted almond slivers and green apple on the nose and palate. A full-bodied, balanced Niagara Chardonnay with rich layers of butterscotch and lime notes. Pair with roasted chicken.

Chardonnay food pairings: grilled seafood, pork tenderloin, lobster in butter sauce, ravioli in an Alfredo sauce.

Reviews and Ratings

From the Beamsville Bench in the Niagara Escarpment wine region, Hidden Bench Estate (2014) is sliced fresh pear and white peach on buttered toast with soft citrus notes. Good acidity and minerality. Hidden Bench's estate Chardonnay is made from select parcels from three organically farmed estate vineyards. They are low yielding vines that concentrate the flavour of the grapes. The wine is fermented with natural indigenous yeast then aged in French oak barrels. - 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.
