Henry of Pelham Chardonnay 2015
VQA Niagara Peninsula $14.95 (291211) 13.0% alcohol
Here’s good-value, crowd-friendly Chardonnay with aromas and flavours of tropical fruit, lemony tang and wisps of minerality and caramel apple. It’s medium bodied with satin-smooth mouthfeel from resting on yeast lees, aka sur lie, with a long, nicely balanced finish and aftertaste. Great sipped on its own or poured with roast chicken or pan-seared/grilled seafood. (Vic Harradine)
