Da Silva Chardonnay 2020
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada2020 comes off two clay, loam silty sites: Blenheim Hill Vineyard (Naramata Bench) and Lazy Dog Vineyard (Penticton Bench). After a stainless steel fermentation, it spends two months in new, medium toast, American oak barrels. The nose mixes sweet oak and tropical notes, while the palate is a creamy, leesy mix of spicy, salty citrus notes. At this point, it is disjointed and needs some bottle time to settle in. Going with French barrels and a longer ageing process might be more interesting to develop better complexity.Tasted: 18 August 2021Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $27.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
