Quails' Gate Chardonnay Stewart Family Reserve 2016

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Stewart Family Reserve Chardonnay is one of three chardys released, and the one the winery considers its flagship. The fruit is sourced from their chardonnay blocks on the volcanic slopes of Boucherie Mountain, just above the winery. The bright 2016 vintage helps this big wine. Full and rich, reflective of its fermentation and aging in French oak, plus full MLF. Nutmeg spices the creamy palate, structured and built for aging. Ripe green apple, pear, French cream and perfumed white blossoms fill the fuller palate. Impressively built, and while you can enjoy now, this is one for the future.Tasted: 05 April 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
