McWatters Collection Harry's Apera 2011

Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaBright amber gold in colour, this sherry-like wine was made with the winery’s 2011 Chardonnay, aged in neutral French oak barrels. The same wine was distilled and used for fortification. Showing a much riper nose than typical sherries, it offers dried apricot and candied citrus peel drizzled with caramel. There’s salted almond layered with a touch of sweet vanilla, hay, and subtle bruised apple. The creamy mid-palate leads to a savoury, nutty finish with some sweetness. A fun wine to try on its own or to pair with Spanish tapas.Tasted: 02 April 2023Tasted by: Prices:
