Some nail polish acetone on the nose: very volatile acidity. Opens with sharp peach on the palate. Liquid weirdness.

Remarkable Roast Chicken Wine

Reviews and Ratings

Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Lemon, lime, brioche, with nutty aromas and flavours. A unique Ontario Chardonnay from the Twenty Mile Bench. Enjoy with roasted poultry. Tasted June 2015. 89 points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca
Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Soft tropical fruit notes on nose, followed by a palate with tropical banana, pineapple, vanilla and oak. Bright acidity and a long tropical fruit finish.
Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 80/100 with the following review:

Deep lemon colour with some Niagara tree fruit, honey, and floral blossoms. A very odd stemmy bitterness on the finish. Medium-bodied with medium+ acidity. Odd.
Tasted: June 2015
This Niagara white wine hails from a relatively new winery. - Community Wine Reviews
