Quails' Gate Dijon Clone Chardonnay 2022
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAt Quails' Gate, they describe the inaugural vintage of the ’22 Dijon Clone Chardonnay as a thoughtful blend of clones 96, 95, 76, and 548, carefully hand selected from premium South Kelowna vineyard blocks. This vintage was hand picked, whole cluster pressed, and barrel fermented in French oak for 15 months, with full malo and some bâtonnage, adding to the wine’s smooth, creamy character. There is excellent ripeness here, with honeyed peach streaked with flint that permeates the entire wine. The finish is clean and mineral driven with a stony finish. So impressive and another step up for chardonnay at this winery. QG likes several cheese matches: swiss fondue, gouda panini, or French onion soup.
