Spearhead Chardonnay Clone 95 2017

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom Naramata Bench as well as Spearhead's home site in south east Kelowna, this chardy is ripe and thick with cream, lees, white peach, hazelnut, creamed corn, soft apple, and oak spicing. Oak is evident and omnipresent, battling it out, and eventually winning against the fruit. This was whole cluster pressed, fermented and aged in French oak (40 percent new) for 11 months, and tastes every inch of it. Drink now.Tasted: 21 February 2019Tasted by: Prices:
