2022 Chardonnay
Okanagan Valley
Our 2022 Chardonnay opens with pure citrus and floral aromas, revealing a fresh, vibrant character that reflects the moderate 2022 growing season. Its mouthfeel is rich and textured, leading to a long, elegant finish.
Tasting Notes
The 2022 Chardonnay opens with a poised flinty minerality that reveals restrained, chiseled fruit, led by lemon, Anjou pear, and greengage. Pristine and vibrant, characteristic of the moderate 2022 growing season, the nose is lifted by perfumed apple blossoms and toasted spices after aging in French oak puncheons for 10 months. The palate shows exceptional breadth and tension, with richly concentrated citrus fruit that is elegantly balanced by a fine line of acidity. The long, refreshing finish is sustained by a distinctive chalkiness, with the structure and depth to effortlessly cellar over the next 7+ years.
