Reviews and Ratings

Wineboy rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Unoaked Chardonnays often come with highly elevated crispness, which some love. This one has a bit more roundness and a heavier mouthfeel than often encountered in unoaked Chardonnay. Beautiful binned apple fruit comes across in a pure manner from start to finish. Well crafted.
Flat Rock Unplugged 2016 is a clean and crisp unoaked Chardonnay from the Twenty Mile Bench in the Niagara Escarpment wine region. Look for apple dumpling, lemon curd and ripe stonefruit flavours on this fresh Chardonnay. Pair with grilled pork chops. - Community Wine Reviews
