Da Silva Chardonnay 2020
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom Blenhim Hill Vineyard and Lazy Dog Vineyard, on the foot and Bench of Naramata, this chardonnay was fermented in stainless, and then rested in new American, medium+ toast barrels for 8 weeks on lees. The wood is up front, framing ripe green apple, juicy lemon, pineapple, and hints of guava across a slower palate. There is a spire of lemony acidity here, but is weighted down by the wood and ripeness at this point. Give some time in bottle to resolve.Tasted: 21 August 2021Tasted by: Prices:BC | $27.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
