Natalie's Score: 91/100

Inniskillin Montague Vineyard 2021 single vineyard Chardonnay is produced from grapes sourced from Four Mile Creek sub-appellation located on the Eastern side of the Niagara. The vines were planted in 1982 and the vineyard is one of the oldest sites in Niagara-on-the-Lake. The Chardonnay vines thrive in clay loam pockets on top of the Queenston Formation (bedrock that forms a significant piece of Ontario) and are exposed to intensely dry summer heat. That heat, along with the rapid cooling which takes place at night, produces extremely ripe and tropical-fruit Chards with structure and plenty of aromatics. Dry, medium-bodied and balanced with juicy acidity, this vintage is layered with ripe apple, pear butter, tropical fruit, toast, oak spice and vanilla flavours smooth, silky and so long on the palate. Absolutely stunning.

Chardonnay food pairings: prawn bisque, oyster poor boy, cheese fondue, stuffed chicken breast.

Inniskillin Montague Vineyard 2021 single vineyard Chardonnay is produced from grapes sourced from Four Mile Creek sub-appellation located on the Eastern side of the Niagara. The vines were planted in 1982 and the vineyard is one of the oldest sites in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Produced from 100% Chardonnay grapes, the wine is dry, medium-bodied with rich layers of ripe yellow apple, pear, toasty oak spice, vanilla and tropical fruit notes silky smooth and a long finish. Very nicely done, enjoy it now through 2026. - Community Wine Reviews
