Sperling Vineyards Organic Vision Chardonnay 2017

East Kelowna Slopes, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSelect blocks from their certified organic/biodynamic estate are whole-cluster pressed and native fermented in 500L puncheons, with light bâtonnage. The final blend is a barrel selection after the wine has spent nearly one year on lees. Full and downy, with a thick cloud of lees, strung with worn wood, creamed corn, flax, and lemon curd. The finish lacks the energy and cut of 2016, but that only makes it more approachable for a wider audience. Though only 12.8 degrees, this has the weight and heft to take on cream-laced proteins.Tasted: 25 March 2020Tasted by: Treve Ring & Anthony GismondiPrices:
