Quails' Gate Stewart Family Reserve Chardonnay 2021
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Stewart Family Reserve wines are produced from some of the oldest vines on the property, now hitting the quarter century mark. The Family Reserve is mostly Clone 95, and while its style has leaned toward California, 2021 is beginning to transition out to a leaner, more complex affair, and something more Okanagan. The pears, peaches and hazelnuts combine with a creamy palate, but now the lees and acidity kick in at the back end, giving it more life and vitality. It's dry and intense as chardonnay can be without losing its finesse. It's an impressive edition of the Reserve, and one chardonnay fans should not miss. The winery suggests it pairs well with a pan fried halibut cooked in a butter cream sauce, or a burrata salad with roasted peaches, pistachios, and cider vinaigrette.
