Quails' Gate Chardonnay Rosemary's Block 25th Anniversary 2012
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaRosemary's Block Chardonnay was created to celebrate the 25th anniversary at Quails Gate but the single block selection made by winemaker Nikki Callaway deserves to be made more than once every quarter century. There's eighty cases, sold only at the winery, and likely only to wine club members. This is one elegant chardonnay with a beautiful bouquet of citrus, hazelnuts, freshly stirred lees, bread dough and toasted oak all in perfect unison. The acidity shines throughout as does the minerality and cool northern apple pear chardonnay fruit. There is a smidgeon of oak showing through on the finish but that will dissipate in time as this wine ascends the maturity ladder. Delicious. Should be made in the best years going forward.Tasted: 03 January 2015Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $30.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
