Meyer Chardonnay 2018
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaMeyer has a top reputation for chardonnay, and this youthful wine is a pale silvery lemon in the glass with an aromatic personality of apple, lemon, and pear. The nose is admirably subdued, showing a touch of fennel and a distinct leesy bread dough note. The flavours are on the restrained side for a BC chardonnay, with delicate tree fruits, peach pit savoury flavours, an herbal, yeasty, dimension and high, mouth-watering acidity. Please note the sleek texture (evidence of lees work) and distinctly mineral-laced finish. It's in the Chablis direction with a bit more fruit, and a very nice, appropriate style for BC. There is oak, but the barrels are well-used with no overt oaky flavours. Lightish in body, you can sip this solo, team it up with local soft cheese, or have with a simple chicken and rice bowl.Tasted: 15 September 2019Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $20.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
