Corcelettes Chardonnay 2022

Cawston, Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis powerful chardonnay is grown on the Keremeos Bench and in South Cawston. It is barrel fermented in 20% new French oak and 20% second use French oak, while the remaining 60% is fermented in concrete. It goes through complete malolactic fermentation and was regularly stirred daily for 16 weeks, leaving it a richly textured white. The fruit is tropical with papaya, peach, and guava mixed with a stony mineral underside. The finish is long and weighty with some bitter notes that call for food. Halibut, shellfish, creamy pasta, or salty potato chips are all fine matches for this ready to drink chardonnay.Tasted: 16 September 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
