Fitzpatrick Family Vineyards Big Leap Chardonnay 2017
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom a single block on their Greata Ranch estate, this was native fermented in French oak (25% new) where it remained on lees for 10 months, with partial MLF. Bright and joyous with meyer lemon, pear, gentle lees, and fine spice. The wood is very well integrated, leaving its mark by way of a soft ginger spice on the finish. Acidity is moderate, as is the body, making this an easy, friendly, welcoming and youthful chardonnay for your summer.Tasted: 04 August 2019Tasted by: Prices:

Fitzpatrick Family Vineyards Big Leap Chardonnay 2017
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada2017 is 100 percent estate-grown, and it comes off a single block. It goes through a wild yeast ferment in French Oak before spending a further ten months in French oak, of which 25 percent is new. A small percentage of that was put through natural malolactic fermentation to add those creamy textures evident on the palate. Look for stone fruit and lemon kissed wet stones with a dry, tangy back end. Flinty is a good descriptor, with just a bit of creamy pear and white cherry in the finish. The winery suggests you pair it with crab cakes and fennel salad, soft cheeses, and herb-crusted halibut with pea puree. I simply request an invitation.Tasted: 18 July 2019Tasted by: Prices:
