Church & State Wines Chardonnay Gravelbourg Vineyard 2006

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaMade for the longer haul the steeped sloped C&S Gravelbourg Vineyard lies midway up the Black Sage Bench. Winemaker Bill Dyer blends two clones, 96 and 76 to shape this chardonnay. Less of that malolactic buttery character helps to reveal a spicy fruit nose with bright flavours of melon, green apple and citrus. Restrained stylish cool climate chardonnay that reflects its origins.Tasted: 26 July 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
