JoieFarm Chardonnay Un-oaked 2005

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAt Joie the '05 Un-Oaked Chardonnay has 10 per cent pinot blanc in the mix some 40 per cent of the chardonnay is made from the aromatic Musqué clone. Look for a young floral, minty grapefruit nose with grassy, green apple, lees and mineral aromas. Warm, round, viscous entry with a sweet and sour balance. Green apple, buttery, oily, grapefruit rind, mineral, zesty flavours. Unusual style with a bit of warmth on the finish. The screw cap guarantees it will remain fresh for sometime.Tasted: 15 April 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
