Situated on the lower slopes of the Niagara Escarpment, Tawse is a family-owned organic and biodynamic winery. Founder Moray Tawse opened his state-of-the art winery, complete with a six-level, gravity–flow design, geo-thermal system and a wetland bio-filter. The inspiration for his Niagara property came from his love of Burgundian Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Sketches Chardonnay is a medium-bodied blend, crafted from hand-harvested fruit carefully sourced from select Niagara Peninsula vineyards. Each lot was individually fermented using indigenous yeasts and aged 12 months in French oak. The nose is expressive with vibrant notes of red apple, honeydew melon and a hint of white flower. Similar notes replay on the palate complemented by lively acidity and some baking spice notes from the oak. The wine pairs beautifully with seafood, poultry and richer vegetable based dishes.

Imported from the Veneto region of Italy, Bella Sera means “Beautiful Evening.” Crisp, dry and refreshing, this wine has flavours of fresh citrus and pear with inviting ripe apple. This is an excellent wine that can accompany a wide variety of foods, but it is a standout with shrimp or mild cheese-based dishes.
