Lightning Rock Chardonnay 2018
Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom Summerland's Canyonview Vineyard, and its alluvial, river stone littered vineyard, this is the inaugural chardy from the young Lightning Rock Winery. After a whole cluster press into puncheons (30% new), this was native fermented, with full MLF. Ripe and lees-generous on the slender frame, this draws popcorn, stones, rock salts, lemon curd, green apple along the palate. A swath of lemon peel acidity carves through the downy lees, finishing with a dusting of flint. They went for it, full stop, and it's working. Looking forward to seeing where they take this young wine (and winery) in future.Tasted: 28 September 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $25.50 | 750ml | winery direct |
