Quails' Gate Chardonnay 2022
West Kelowna, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe classic QG Chardonnay comes from several family-owned sites and is fermented in a mix of vessels from stainless steel tanks to neutral French oak. It goes through partial malolactic fermentation to retain its freshness, and spends nine months on its lees while adding some creamy textures to the mix. The attack is a balanced mix of citrus and creamy bakery notes spiked with fresh pear and barrel spice. The stylish, new, round, and easy-to-drink white is the perfect chardonnay at this price point to serve a large crowd. Shellfish, halibut, and roasted chicken all work here.Tasted: 11 September 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $26.99 | 750ml | BCL stores, winery online/direct, select private retailers |
