16/20

Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaChronos winemaker Lynzee Schatz works with Mirror Lake Vineyard out of Oliver. This 12.5% chardonnay presents fresh and dry with no malolactic fermentation, and it remains crisp throughout. No oak further tightens the lime, guava with a touch of exotic pineapple underneath. Ready to drink and best with rich seafood dishes including oysters, prawns and scallops. Hot buttered popcorn would also be a good fit for a late afternoon treat.Tasted: 21 December 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Chronos Chardonnay 2020

Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom Mirror Lake vineyard in Oliver, this was fermented and aged in stainless, with no MLF, and regular bâtonnage. Lean and skinny on the softer palate, with sour lemon, green apple, crab apple, ale, and a welcome flick of reduction that holds on the saline-laced finish. A Welcome direction, and my favourite (so far) from the new Chronos portfolio.Tasted: 02 January 2022Tasted by: Prices:

Chronos Chardonnay 2020

Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaLess is more for this Chronos chardonnay. No oak and no malolactic fermentation means the focus is squarely on the fruit, which is sourced from Mirror Lake Vineyard in Oliver. Expect bright pear and lemon in a style that is crisp but approachable, with a softness coming from lees stirring. Easy to enjoy on its own, it'll be at its best paired with a simple crab salad.Tasted: 06 January 2022Tasted by: Prices:
