Westcott Vineyards, 'VQA Vinemount Ridge', Chardonnay

Grant and Carolyn are excited about the promise their wines are showing and strive to improve every year, constantly growing and listening - to the earth, the grapes, and their customers. They are at 3180 17th Street, in Jordan Station, waiting for you to join them and share a glass of wine. They continued their study of cool climate viticulture and were fortunate to have their son, Garett Westcott, join them in the vineyard and Alain Sutre guide their viticulture practices the next year. Construction on the main building (which features a reclaimed 200-year old timber frame and foundation from a barn several kilometers away) began in the fall of 2013. The tasting room was opened in July 2014 and their daughter, Victoria Westcott, joined the team to lead the customer experience.

This Chardonnay shows a balance between crisp golden apple and rich butterscotch notes on the nose, followed by a creamy palate with hints of vanilla and a subtle oak finish. It is a well-rounded Chardonnay with a beautiful complexity that is simply a delight to drink.
