Reviews and Ratings

Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This is a well balanced, well integrated oaked cool climate Chardonnay from Canada's famous Niagara terroir. Great value for quality. Ripe apple, Asian pear, a hint of soft baking spice. Medium bodied. Paired well with beer can chicken. Tasted July 2017. BespokeTastings
Stephen Andrews reviewed this wine as follows:

Tasted July 25th 2017, colour medium gold, medium legs. Aroma flavours of yellow apple, star fruit, pineapple and butter. Taste dry, medium mouthfeel, nice fruit and balance. We paired this wine with pan fried pickerel hazelnut brown butter. Easy to drink liked the food match, a nice wine from Niagara good value.
