HAPPENS!<br />
A total of 50 wineries (28 Ontario and<br />
22 from other regions) will be showcasing<br />
chardonnay over the weekend, in seven<br />
organized tasting events. Visit the I4C<br />
website at CoolChardonnay.org for more<br />
information on the events, times and prices.<br />
Why Choose Chardonnay?<br />
Chardonnay is a versatile grape. It can be aged in<br />
oak to add flavour complexity. It can be used to<br />
make sparkling wine and can also be fermented<br />
dry or left with a touch of sweetness.<br />
Chardonnay is grown in all three of<br />
Ontario’s VQA wine appellations.<br />
Approximately 125 wineries in Ontario<br />
produce chardonnay. It is used in 18% of<br />
Ontario’s annual total production and is<br />
most often fermented to a dry style.<br />
Here are several of Ontario’s cool<br />
climate chardonnays for you to<br />
consider.<br />
Fielding 2017 Unoaked<br />
Chardonnay (Vintages #164491,<br />
$15.95) — This is a clean, fruit<br />
forward chardonnay.<br />
Red apple, melon, and<br />
nectarine fruits linger<br />
on the palate for quite<br />
some time. It is crisp,<br />
clean and refreshing. An<br />
easy sipping wine that highlights<br />
Ontario’s cooler climate.<br />
Consider serving this one as<br />
an aperitif, or with some light<br />
appetizers.<br />
