Privata Chardonnay by Ex Nihilo Vineyards 2016
Lake Country, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPrivata is a reserve tier of Ex Nihilo's, and in the case of this chardonnay, they've pulled out all the stops. Rich butterscotch, orange caramel and giant wood spices this full, rich and warming chardonnay, one barely kept afloat with a wee bubbling stream of acidity. This young wine feels every moment of its nine months in wood: 80 percent French and the remainder American. A salty reduction note lingers on the warm, bruléed finish, sending a call for pairing with crisp, roasted poultry.Tasted: 22 November 2017Tasted by: Treve Ring & Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $26.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
