RAVINE CHARDONNAY 2022 6 VQA Niagara-on-the-Lake

This Chardonnay brings together fruit from three different Niagara-on-the-Lake sub-appellations, each of which plays a role in shaping the character of the wine: richness from St. David’s Bench, vibrant acidity and minerality from Niagara Lakeshore, and delicate floral notes from Four Mile Creek. The wine evokes baked apple, lemon, dried apricot and spices and will pair well with herb-crusted pork chops or creamy fettuccine alfredo. Full-bodied & Rich 47643 (XD) 750 ml $23.95 2

VQA Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Escarpment Wismer Fox Croft tends to be slightly warmer than other sites on the Twenty Mile Bench, due to the lower elevation, and yields a riper style of Riesling. This is bright and overt on the nose with green apples, lime-citrus, wet-stone minerality, and grape- fruit zest. It has lovely texture and energy on the palate with saline/chalky notes, lanolin, grapefruit, fresh apple, a touch of ginger and a vibrant, freshening finish. Score: 93 (Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, May 22, 2024) Aromatic & Flavourful 47642 (D) 750 ml $18.95 2
