Reviews and Ratings

Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Nutty and buttery with refreshing acidity - just the way I like Chardonnay. Add to this butterscotch, apple, pear, cedar, nuts and you get a lovely Niagara white wine. Highly recommend. Pair with buttery pan seared scallops or a creamy pasta.
Tasted: February 2016
Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Tree fruit and buttered toast on nose, followed by a concentrated palate with apple, citrus, buttery oak and slight mineral touches. Full-bodied with a long oaky finish.
The Chardonnay grapes for this Niagara white wine are grown on old vines, of which the oldest vines were planted in 1975, making them among the oldest in Ontario. This wine is aged for 2-4 years in new French oak barrels. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
