Lock and Worth Chardonnay Whole Cluster 2018

Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis is the first L&W Chardonnay, sourced from an Okanagan Falls vineyard planted in 1995. After whole cluster pressing, this fermented (with full MLF) in 500L puncheons, where it remained for 10 months on lees, with no battonage. Bottled without fining or filtration. Cream, verbena, red apple, and lees is surrounded by soft lemon curd and laced with reduction, finishing with a wash of salts. Big impact for under 12 degrees.Tasted: 22 February 2020Tasted by: Prices:
