Volcanic Hills Reserve Chardonnay 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA deep yellow colour leads into a leesy, pineapple, vanilla nose that spills onto a flat palate, with some brown spices in the back end. Fully mature and ready to drink, if not past its prime. It will have some appeal to those who love the old-style California chardonnay of the past. Try this with a bowl of popcorn with some melted butter. The ageing mix is 87/13 French oak and stainless steel.Tasted: 14 March 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $33.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
