Description
Quails' Gate planted their first vines in 1961, but their love affair with the soil goes back to 1908, when Richard Stewart Sr. (affectionately known as 'Poppa Dick') settled in the area. From working the land, he would go on to establish one of the valley's most successful nurseries. Six decades later, his son, Dick, switched over to growing grapes. Look for this to be a sleek, bright Chardonnay brimming with orchard and tropical fruit, and pair it with roast pork loin or lobster tail.

Tasting Notes
Founded in 1956, and owned and operated by the Steward family, Quails' Gate is one of Canada's most important family owned wineries. This Chardonnay is round and rich with tropical fruit, citrus, golden apple, pear, and mineral. Great with roast chicken or with baked fish in a lemon cream sauce.
