Bartier Bros. Chardonnay 2023
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom Black Sage Terrace's lauded Cerqueira Vineyard, this chardonnay was whole cluster pressed and fermented in stainless, where it remains on lees for 4 months. Ripe and fruit forward, with ample pineapple rind, melon, verbena, crunchy Asian pear, and green apple, this buzzes along the zesty palate, reminding more of sauvignon blanc than Okanagan chardonnay. Regardless, a snappy, friendly, medium+ white to crack into this summer.Tasted: 03 June 2024Tasted by: Prices:BC | $24.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers, restaurants |
