Ripe apple with some lemon and pear notes. Neither as focused nor as flint-driven as the estate chardonnay but broader on the palate. Well balanced

This is truly exceptional Niagara Chardonnay. Flowing and flavorful, broad and gratifying - there’s a high deliciousness factor without losing precision purity. River rocks and red apples. Paired with the exceptional Niagara Gold from Upper Canada Cheese Co. Both the winery and dairy are owned by the Thiel family. #i4c18

It's oaky, buttery, rich, coating but never heavy! It's still fresh and that acidity lifts the whole wine to make it sublime. A prime example of how a "heavier" chardonnay should be like.

Vanilla, smoke and a little reductive on the nose. The palate was all barrel and no flavors - reminded me of barrel water after rinsing. Not a fan.

One of the best whites I've had... And it's a Chardonnay!
