Lake Breeze Seven Poplars Chardonnay 2011
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaIt's been a while since we've seen the top chardonnay from Lake Breeze but it seems as good as ever. Seven Poplars gets barrel fermented in new French oak and then 70 per cent of that juice is aged six months in barrel; the remainder goes to stainless steel. Look for an attractive ripe buttery nose with fresh peach and floral notes over a rich, nutty, peach fruit mid-palate with a wisp of butterscotch in the back end. Love the balance here and given how young this wine is we expect it will really blossom in another two years as the lees works its magic and the tropical notes subside. Serve now with lobster or crab.Tasted: 21 October 2012Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $25.00 | 750ml | winery direct, VQA wine shops |
