Churchside Vineyard – Chardonnay with Depth and Elegance

Churchside Vineyard is one of Closson Chase’s exciting vineyards in Prince Edward County. Here, limestone-rich soil and cool breezes from Lake Ontario help give the grapes their characteristic freshness.

The wine is crafted with a focus on preserving the Chardonnay grape’s natural fruit and the region’s distinctive minerality. The elegant oak character adds depth and a rounded structure without detracting from the fruit.

The result is a harmonious and refined Chardonnay that combines body with a lovely, lively acidity. An ideal wine for those who enjoy white Burgundy and want to experience just how exciting Canadian Chardonnay can be.

Tasting Notes – creamy, fresh, and elegant

Aroma: Inviting aromas of ripe apples, peaches, and fresh lemon. Subtle hints of white flowers, toasted hazelnuts, and a touch of vanilla add extra depth.

Palate: Silky smooth and full-bodied with juicy stone fruit, citrus, and elegant nutty nuances. The fresh acidity creates a beautiful balance, while the mineral finish offers a long and refined aftertaste.

Serving: Enjoy the wine at 10–12 degrees. It pairs wonderfully with butter-fried turbot, lobster, scallops, and chicken in a creamy sauce. Also an excellent choice with mushroom risotto and ripe, mild cheeses.

Closson Chase – Canadian winemaking with roots in Burgundy

Closson Chase was founded in 1998 and was among the pioneers who recognized the enormous potential of Prince Edward County on Lake Ontario.

The first vines were planted in 1999, and since then, the winery has made a name for itself with elegant Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines. Inspiration comes from Burgundy, where balance, finesse, and respect for the vineyard are paramount.
