It was planted way back in 1983 when there was hardly any vinifera in Niagara! The Willms site is an enigma: it produces subtly waxy Chardonnay with minty green, orange and yellow citrus on the nose; intense and broad, yet elegant, with a subtly-shaded minerality as palpable as from the bench. Willms possesses a texture that belies its Niagara-on-the-Lake origins. My theory is that the deep old vine roots and silty, slightly sandy soils confer a savoury minerality to the wine. It is broad, long, honeyed, elegant, and fabulously-textured! Show more
