16/20

Lake Country, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThree blocks of Carr's Landing Vineyard are home to this unoaked chardonnay. The style is fruit-driven, thanks to a stainless steel ferment and weekly stirring for four months. Bright, fresh, and tight, it's full of citrus-soaked pears and apples with a touch of lees. Serve this wine as you would squeeze lemon on your food. Could we see the same wine in concrete to add some next-level warmth and complexity?Tasted: 15 June 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Peak Cellars Unoaked Chardonnay 2020

Lake Country, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis unoaked chardy comes off Blocks 8, 21, and 27 of their estate Carr’s Landing vineyard, and a mix of clones 76, 548, and 95. The three blocks were blended in stainless prior to fermentation, and remained there with weekly bâtonnage for four months post-ferment. Whistle-clean, with lemon cream, green apple, citrus blossoms riding over a slick of lees, to a snappy lemon peel finish. If you like your chardy squeaky bright and oak-free, here's a great option for you.Tasted: 15 July 2021Tasted by: Prices:
