Classic, zesty, fresh.
Harvested from a selection of vineyards from Naramata, Okanagan Falls and Osoyoos this Chardonnay was cool fermented in neutral oak and stainless steel then left to age on fine lees for six months where 75% went through natural secondary fermentation before bottling.
Yellow apple aromas are layered with almonds and grilled lemons, toasted spice and hay notes. It's a juicy white, spiced, lemony and nutty with a classic sort of Chablis character. The finish is zesty.

Perfumed, exotic, fresh.
While Meyer Family is known for Pinot and Chardonnay, this fresh Gewurztraminer is a lovely expression of the variety. Harvested from McLean Creek Road and Okanagan Falls vineyards it delights with roses oil and lychee aromas layered with mango, exotic flowers, star anise and nutmeg. It's a potent wine perfeumed and spiced, on the dry side and with good length.

Elegant, profound,complex.
Located in the Okanagan Falls sub-GI, Meyer Family Vineyards specializes in premium Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from estate vineyards under the winemaking guidance of Chris Carson.
The 2018 Micro Cuvee Chardonnay is selected from MFV's Old Main Road vineyard on the Naramata Bench. A long, cool fermentation took place in stainless steel vessels where it remained for most of the ferment. The must was then transferred to 100% French oak (33% new) and left sur lie for 11 months without battonage; natural malolactic fermentation occurred in late spring. For this Micro Cuvee they selected the most outstanding barrels and in keeping with their philosophy to maintain a hands-off approach in the cellar (allowing for true expression of terroir), the wine is unfined and unfiltered.
Warm buttered biscuits, apple turnovers, honeysuckle, toasted spice and vanilla liqueur aromas flow seamlessly onto a plush yet lively palate. Creamy and complex with woven fruit, citrus, spice and nutty flavours this wine is elegant, delicious and frankly, profound.
