White Wine

Westcott Vineyards Estate Chardonnay 2022, Niagara Escarpment, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: Westcott Estate 2022 Chardonnay is produced from sustainably grown grapes sourced from the Niagara Escarpment wine region. Dry and medium-bodied, grapes for this Burgundian-style Chardonnay were hand-harvested, whole-bunch pressed and wild-fermented. The wine was barrel-aged for 10 months in French oak barrels (10% new). Fresh and fragrant with golden apple, butterscotch, toasty oak spice and a kiss of vanilla to round out this lovely, elegant and complex Chardonnay, chill and enjoy it through 2029 with pan-fried scallops in beurre noisette or a baguette slathered with rich, creamy brie. Chardonnay food pairings: Asian dishes with black bean, steamed Mahi Mahi, pasta with tomato sauce, pork tenderloin.
