Fort Berens White Gold Reserve 2019
Lillooet, British Columbia, CanadaThis chardonnay comes off a single block on their estate Dry Creek Vineyard, in Lillooet. After whole cluster pressing, this was fermented in French barrels over two weeks, followed by a further 6 months there, with monthly bâtonnage. Ripe and creamy, with sweet baked pear, yellow apple, pineapple accentuated with ample toasty spice, and finishing with a vanillin note. This feels more weighted than its 13.5% would suggest, encouraging partnering with butter drawn clams or creamy pasta dishes.Tasted: 21 January 2022Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $29.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers, grocery |
