Kitsch Chardonnay 2018
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaClone 95, planted on their estate in 2013, makes up this 2018 chardonnay. After a whole cluster press, this was partially native fermented in a mix of stainless (80%) and neutral French oak, with 75 days of lees contact before bottling. Light lemon, cream, green apple crispness, on a fresh, bright palate. There's a lovely fine savoury anise line in the lees, before a crisp finish. Building on last year's star turn, this wine is moving into serious chardy contention. As you'll notice by the capsule, this wine is a collab between Kitch and clothing company Tentree. For every bottle purchased, 5 mangrove trees will be planted in Madagascar. Win win with wine.Tasted: 06 May 2020Tasted by: Prices:BC | $24.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
