Quails' Gate Stewart Family Reserve Chardonnay 2012
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPolish is apparent immediately. Spiced brioche, rich cream, popcorn, French perfume and vanilla aromas carry through a reductive note to the silky palate. Full bodied and creamy with heaps of fine grained spice, more rich cream, nut, lees lemon curd and ripe pear. Buoyant freshness and tight acidity to carry this big wine elegantly across the oaken form and to a honeycomb finish. Pour with lemon dressed scallops or butter dipped crab.Tasted: 02 April 2015Tasted by: Prices:BC | $40.00 | 750ml | winery direct, vqa wine stores |
