Coolshanagh Chardonnay 2015
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis was harvested in September 2015, a warm year across the Okanagan. Some 38 percent was fermented in two lightly-toasted French oak puncheons to preserve the fruit; the balance goes into an egg-shaped concrete tank for texture. It was all aged on its lees for eleven months and bottled some eleven months after harvest. At this point the lees predominates on the nose while the wine shows less acidity and an increased creamy texture that leaves it less electric and more fat in the mouth. The obvious heat of 2015 has left a mix of citrus, caramel, white peach and vanilla pudding—almost Napa style that should appeal to a slightly different crowd than the earlier vintages which were decidedly more Burgundian.Tasted: 22 November 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $37.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
