Product Notes

Norman Hardie Chardonnay is an exquisite wine, emanating from one of Canada's most renowned wine regions, Ontario. It boasts an inviting golden hue, with subtle flavours of fresh citrus and ripened stone fruit layered in a premium, creamy texture. Each sip reveals nuanced traces of vanilla and soft oak, resulting in a well-balanced, elegant finish. Striking a harmonious balance between rich flavour and acidity, this Chardonnay is perfect for pairing with cured meats, shellfish or mild cheeses. One simply must savour this beguiling expression of a classic varietal to fully appreciate its finesse and poise.

Tasting Notes

Fresh nose of tart citrus gives way to vanilla meringue. Beautifully briny and savoury speaking to the mineral driven soils of the area and balancing the ripe fruit of this warm vintage perfectly. Enticing palate simultaneously creamy and lean. Long finish and palate cleansing acidity.
