Fitzpatrick Family Vineyards Big Leap Chardonnay 2021
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis year's Big Leap Chardonnay blends estate fruit with chardy from the southern Okanagan, with 50% fermenting in stainless and the rest in neutral French oak. It sees partial MLF and monthly bâtonnage. Yellow apple, custard, and creamy lees run the medium palate, with peach fuzz spicing through the snappy finish. A simple, friendly chardy for cracking now.Tasted: 07 August 2023Tasted by: Prices:BC | $25.50 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
