Meyer Family Vineyards Chardonnay Stevens Block Old Main Road Vineyard 2019

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis is a single block selection from their Naramata Bench Old Main Road Vineyard, planted in 2006 to French clones 4 and 5. Stevens Block is a steep, cool slope, farmed with organic practices. After a whole cluster ferment, the free-run juice was natively fermented over two months in stainless, before resting in older French barrels on lees for 10 months. Still tight and taut in youth, with lemon verbena, cream, meadow grass, and a pad of lees. The finish is long and finely spiced. This will benefit from a couple of years in your cellar.Tasted: 12 November 2020Tasted by: Prices:
