Peak Cellars Chardonnay 2018
Lake Country, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaYoung vines from the Carrs Landing vineyard, planted from 2013 through 2015, go into this wine. The winemaking is minimal: whole bunched pressed to tank, settled overnight and racked to barrel, with only 20 percent new wood used during a ten month ageing period. The style is rich and open with creamy vanilla and toast sitting over a light lemon, baked apple base. Not as fresh as most of the whites coming out of O’Rourke’s Peak Cellars but will have appeal to those who like their chardonnay rich and creamy.Tasted: 04 March 2021Tasted by: Prices:BC | $30.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
