Featherstone Canadian Oak Chardonnay 2023, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: From the Niagara Peninsula wine region in Ontario, Featherstone Canadian Oak 2023 Chardonnay is vegan-friendly and produced from sustainably grown grapes from a fully self-sustained winery.

Fresh and fragrant with yellow apple, toasted nut, fir and campfire smoke aromas mirrored on the palate with a lingering buttery and spicy finish, chill and enjoy it with roast chicken or pork chops from the grill.
