Mission Hill Reserve Chardonnay 2017

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe MHFE Reserve tier is sourced from the top 15 percent of their estate vineyards, with three quarters of the same blocks used year over year to ensure consistency. That said, there is no sharing as to where the fruit for this vintage of chardy is from. Oak influence is evident here, via the round, pear, white peach, lemon curd and lees-lined palate, one lined with zingy lime peel to brighten, but weighed down by a soft, lactic creaminess. Safe, accessible, simple, and highly suitable for similar foods.Tasted: 19 December 2018Tasted by: Prices:
