Meyer Family Vineyards Chardonnay Tribute Series - Winifred Mary Stewart Old Main Road Vineyard 2011
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2011 Tribute Series is dedicated to different Canadian each year who is or has been outstanding in their field. In 2011 Winnifred Mary Stewart is the honoree but as always the wine comes off the family's 'Old Main Road Vineyard' on Naramata Bench. The cool climate site is now 15 years old. It's all free run juice and the ferment is finished off in 100 percent new French oak of which about one third is new. It then spends about 10 months sur lees without Battonage. In a challenging late year it's turned out to be a solid wine. Light notes of orchard fruit with light minerality. The palate has texture and creaminess with citrus, peach skin and vanilla notes with a stony finish. The Tribute Series is a dedication to a Canadian for an outstanding achievement in their field. Each year, the Meyer Family will donate $5,000 toward a non-for profit foundation, endowment or scholarship as a way of encouraging or honoring the legacies of these Canadians.Tasted: 22 November 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $30.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
