Red Barn at Jagged Rock Discordian Chardonnay 2020
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThey had me fermented and aged in concrete because in the Okanagan and particularly at Jagged Rock, the Chardonnay has earned the right to be made with as little intervention as possible. Fans of 'Next World Chardonnay' will embrace this mineral, flinty, wet stone affair with fresh-cut pear and green apple mixed with nectarine skin. The acidity is lively but in check, and the creamy textures that come with concrete ageing add mid-palate weight and length to the wine, filling out its lime, pear, sea salt finish. The label depicts a red coloured fish swimming with some authority in the opposite direction — does that remind you of any B.C. proprietor? It is only available online at Artisan Wine Shop.Tasted: 12 November 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $30.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
