Tawse Wine & Spirits is a family-owned organic winery and distillery situated on the lower slopes of the Niagara Escarpment. Founder Moray Tawse, inspired by his love of Burgundian Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, purchased 6 acres on the Cherry Avenue property in 2001, and in 2005 he opened his state-of-the-art winery complete with a six-level, gravity-flow design, geo-thermal system, and a wetland bio-filter. Since then, Tawse has become a four-time winner of the Canadian Winery of the Year award and grows grapes in five estate vineyards on over 100 acres across the Niagara region.
Tawse is focused on uniting traditional winemaking techniques with state-of-the-art technology, and dedicated to producing terroir-driven wines of exceptional elegance, depth and character.
Tasting Notes
This is a well crafted wine that beautifully balances fruit and oak. On the nose it offers a complex bouquet of aromas, including ripe pear, green apple and hints of citrus zest. The palate is vibrant and balanced with a lively acidity that enhances the fruit flavors. The wine finishes with a pleasant minerality reflecting the limestone-rich soill from which it originates. Enjoy this exceptional Chardonnay on it’s own or pair it with a variety of dishes, from roast chicken and seafood to creamy pasta dishes.
Method
Made from organically grown Chardonnay from Tawse’s Quarry Road Vineyard located within the Vinemount Ridge VQA in Niagara. Barrel fermented with indigenous yeast and aged 12 months in French oak.
