- Winemaking Notes
Tawse is proud to partner with Canadian music icon
and Order of Canada recipient Jim Cuddy to introduce
“Cuddy by Tawse” Chardonnay. Jim collaborated with
winemakers Paul Pender and Rene Van Ede to create this
premium barrel-fermented blend. Aged 12 months in French
oak, this wine displays aromas of Bosc pear, baking spice,
white flower and hints of wet stone minerality. Crips notes of
grapefruit are accompanied by apple and pear and a touch
of shy oak, resulting in a beautiful mouth feel on the palate.- Growing Conditions
Sourced from select Niagara Peninsula vineyards. Viticultural
practices included vertical shoot positioning, shoot thinning,
cluster thinning, hand leaf removal and hand harvest.- Food Pairing
The minerality and fruitiness of this wine makes it a pleasure to
food pair with dishes such as sole meuniere, scallop ravioli or breaded
chicken with lemon beurre blanc. Also the perfect pairing for a classic potato salad.- Tasting Notes
