2020 Bella Terra Chardonnay

Tasting Notes: From the oldest vines on the estate, planted in 1988, this 2020 Chardonnay is a bold reflection of the varietal. The infamous growing year gives the wine an elevated intensity, showing the true potential of Niagara’s cool-climate Chardonnay.

The nose displays classic barrel-aged notes of vanilla, butterscotch, and honeycomb. The palate is fruit-forward with notes of stewed golden apple and banana candy, with hints of walnut. Its style is full-bodied and complex, with balanced acidity and a long mineral finish.
