Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Bear label vines are approaching a decade; hence the label departure from Juveniles to Bear, the nickname of owner Eric Savics’ eldest son. The '21 is a mix of clones 76, 95, and 548, all fermented in neutral French barriques and puncheons, where it remained on lees until bottling. The result is delightful. The flavour intensity pervades the creamy, leesy textures and citrus green apple highlights—a lovely northern expression of the Okanagan, at a bargain price.Tasted: 12 July 2022Tasted by: Prices:

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Bear label replaces the Juveniles Chardonnay, now that the vines are nearing a decade old. The Bear tag is a nod to the nickname of owner Eric Savics’ eldest son. From clones 76, 95, and 548, this was small lot native fermented in neutral French barriques and puncheons, where it remained on lees until bottling. Creamy and bright with green apple, lemon peel on a lees decked palate, with subtle flinty kisses on the finish. Smart, modern, Okanagan.Tasted: 25 July 2022Tasted by: Prices:
