Fort Berens White Gold 2017

Lillooet, British Columbia, CanadaWhite Gold is Fort Berens' premium Lillooet chardonnay, sourced entirely from the Dry Creek Vineyard estate, and fermented on native yeast. Opulent and structural, it leads with a buttery, spicy, oaky punch before a second structural element appears: acidity. This is going to need some time to mesh and mature to see whether the peach and orange fruit can ultimately win out over the oak. Try again in late 2020 and early 2021.Tasted: 31 October 2019Tasted by: Prices:
