Wismer Wingfield Ouest Chardonnay Twenty Mile Bench
2022
About this winery
Canada’s fruit basket – one of the southernmost parts of Canada - an idyllic little peninsula with a unique microclimate due to the ocean-like Great lakes that surround it. Dolomitic Limestone abounds here - interspersed with clay - giving the wines intense perfume; a rich mouthfeel and a defining iron grip that speaks of the Escarpment where the grapes are grown – the same Escarpment from whence tumble the world-famous ‘Niagara Falls.’

Product notes
From the Wismer Wingfield vineyard in the Twenty Mile Bench, one of Niagara’s coolest and most prized sites. Clay-limestone soils and lake-moderated climate enhance precision and minerality. Fermented in French oak barrels and aged on fine lees to build texture and complexity while preserving terroir expression.
Tasting notes
Pale yellow color. Refined aromas of lemon, apple, pear and chalky notes. The palate is taut and mineral, balanced by a silky texture and a long, saline finish.
