Bright, creamy, balanced.
The grapes for this 2020 Chardonnay were sourced from Okanagan Falls then fermented mostly in oak and a small portion in concrete egg. It saw 9 months of ageing with lees stirring in 86% in barrel with 10% being in concrete egg and 4% in stainless steel.
Warm yellow apple sauce aromas are layered with hazelnuts, grilled lemon, bread dough and liquid honey. Sweet golden fruit, brown spice and vanilla flavours dominate the palate. It is slick and creamy with great balanced and deft use of oak--as seasoning rather than a main ingredient.
