Quails' Gate Stewart Family Reserve Chardonnay 2019
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaQuails' Gate's flagship white wine, the Stewart Family Reserve, primarily clone 95, is now 23-year-old vines planted on the ancient volcanic soils of Mount Boucherie. The nose is a fragrantly enticing mix of pears, toasted nuts, honeyed lees and light, but effective spicing. The palate is even better with medium weight, bright, mineral, ripe red apple, lees through the balanced back end. Impressive as always and ages with little effort. Complex and inviting, this is a beacon of B.C. chardonnay.Tasted: 30 December 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Best of all is the zap of thrilling, luminous high acidity that elevates the Stewart Family Reserve among elite Okanagan chardonnays. Weighty, concentrated, complex and extra-fresh, courtesy of the streamlined cooler 2019 vintage. Chicken suprèmes with creamy wild mushroom sauce or grilled peaches and pork chops it's built for a gourmet dinner.Tasted: 19 January 2022Tasted by: Prices:
