This Chardonnay comes from the Wismer family’s Wingfield Vineyard in the Twenty Mile Bench region of Niagara. This excellent site was planted in 1993 with clone 76. We have chosen to bottle this wine separately to showcase the unique characteristics of this vineyard.
"94+ points. The nose is lifted and expressive: orchard fruit, ripe pineapple, and honeydew melon interplay with cool marine-like seashell minerality and delicately integrated oak spice. There’s a gentle exotic edge here too, adding dimension without veering out of balance. On the palate, this wine is harmonious, polished, and precise. The orchard fruit carries through beautifully, framed by creamy yet refreshing acidity and a subtle textural weight that speaks to both vintage and vineyard pedigree. At 13% alcohol, it’s impressively ripe yet composed — a testament to the site’s ability to achieve full phenolic maturity while preserving freshness and finesse. This is premium Niagara Chardonnay at its best — complex, terroir-driven, and age-worthy. While it’s already drinking beautifully, offering generous fruit and precision today, it will undoubtedly continue to evolve gracefully over the next 8–12 years, gaining further depth and sophistication. A Cru-level wine from a Cru-level site." - Matt Steeves, Quercus Vino
