Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaConsistently one of Okanagan's top chardonnays, Tantalus' flagship chardy is primarily estate fruit, based on their 2006 and 2013 plantings, and by a vineyard up the road, also planted in 2013. The fruit (clones 95,96,76 and 589) was whole bunch pressed and native fermented in barrel and puncheons (20-30% new) where it underwent partial MLF, and 10 months on lees prior to bottling. Confident and complete, with interwoven layers of lemon, light cream, stones, and subtle toasted nuttiness, this streams along the palate with an effortless acidity. The medium+ body will work well at the dinner table now, or with a couple of years in your cellar. Super smart.Tasted: 05 August 2024Tasted by: Prices:

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaTantalus is famous for its Old Vine Riesling, but you can see plenty of love for chardonnay too. These estate vines, clones 95, 96, 76, and 589, date back to 2006 and 2013. A green gold colour pulls you into a glass brimming with ripe, exotic fruit, flecked with orange, roasted nuts, sweet peaches, and ripe ambrosia apples. A tiny sugar bump in a warm year opens the wine up to a broader spectrum of chardonnay lovers who will still benefit from a lesson in balance and elegance. Watch this bottle disappear in minutes at any gathering.Tasted: 24 April 2024Tasted by: Prices:
