Blasted Church Unorthodox Chardonnay 2013
Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe secret here is the blend of the aromatic musqué chardonnay clone (73 percent) with a 13/10/4 mix of chardonnay, ehrenfelser and gewürztraminer, the latter two bringing more aromatics, spice and a dash of orange to the mix. Expect a fairly rich chardonnay with expressive up front fruit salad flavours but with enough acidity to appear fresh. There's enough ripeness and residual sugar to work with spicy foods but it will be fine with creamy pasta dishes too.Tasted: 29 December 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $18.50 | 750ml | winery direct; private wine shops |
