A lovely, full-bodied, rich Niagara Chardonnay that was aged in 30% new French oak barrels, the rest 1,000 litre barrels that were second use for minimal impact. Aromas of freshly baked bread and golden apple. Pair with roast turkey.

Reviews and Ratings

Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Stone fruit and some oak aromas with apple, pear and some buttery notes on the palate. Well balanced with nice acidity throughout. Tasted April 2019 at Taste Ontario.
Paula Bernardino rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Although we don't have Family Day in Quebec, I decided to dedicate 2021 Family Day weekend to wines from Ontario. My choice for Sunday was the Chardonnay from Meldville Wines located in Beamsville. A nice golden colour in the glass, I got aromas and flavours of peach and pear with a hint of caramel. I paired it with pasta and salmon salad. Nice label. Can also be purchased directly on the winery's website: http://www.meldvillewines.com/2017-chardonnay.html

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.
