Flat Rock Vineyards - Chardonnay - 2021

$20.99

Flat Rock Cellars sits high on the Beamsville Bench overlooking Lake Ontario, one of Niagara's best-sited wineries for Chardonnay. This bottling is hand-picked, hand-sorted, barrel-fermented, and aged in French oak, real work for a wine that lands under $21. It's been ranked among the best Ontario Chardonnays at this price point, and it drinks like it costs twice as much.

Lemon, yellow plum, and Golden Delicious apple, with kumquat, toffee, ginger, and vanilla layered in. Full-bodied with real texture, oak spice, and honeyed richness on the finish.

Classic matches for Chardonnay: Roast chicken, lobster or crab with butter, corn dishes, soft creamy cheeses.

Flat Rock Cellars is perched on the Beamsville Bench in the Niagara Peninsula, VQA Ontario. The Chardonnay is hand-picked and hand-sorted, then barrel-fermented and aged in French oak barriques for added texture and complexity.
