Wine Details
Price:
$12.99 per bottle
Description:
Packed with juicy flavours of crisp ripe apples, pears, pineapple and melon. A light hint of exotic spice blends exquisitely into the long, smooth finish. The balance and body on this fruity Chardonnay make it one to remember. Our unoaked Chardonnay is made from grapes grown in the Okanagan Valley and was only every in stainless steel tanks. We do this so that the discerning flavours of the Chardonnay grape is not masked by the sometimes overpowering notes of oak. A true Chardonnay!

Varietal Definition
Chardonnay:
Chardonnay is by far the most widely planted grape crop in California and dominates California’s cooler, coastal, quality wine regions. The natural varietal ‘taste and smell’ of Chardonnay is surprisingly unfamiliar to many wine drinkers, as its true character is often guised with dominating winemaking signatures. Chardonnay’s rather subdued primary fruit characteristics lean toward the crisp fruitiness of apples, pears and lemon, but the variety’s full body is capable of supporting a host of complementary characteristics, such as oak, butter and vanilla. Regardless of what is the appropriate style for Chardonnay, the varietal continues to dominate vineyard plantings in every corner of the world. Close attention to clonal selection has made this broad geographic and climactic range of Chardonnay viable in thoughtful viticultural hands.
