Phoenix Chardonnay 2023
British Columbia, CanadaCorcelettes Winery has gone outside the Similkameen Valley to make its Phoenix Wines, and this chardonnay is the first we have seen. It hails from the southern entrance to the Narmata Bench from King Vineyard. It's fermented in 100% concrete, giving it a fresh, vibrant vibe with fully ripe fruit at a moderate 12.7 percent alcohol. The nose is an orchard fruit bomb of lemons, melons, green apples, and peaches that spill onto a well-balanced creamy palate of more of the same with just enough acidity to keep it fresh. It is easy to sip and very pleasing right down to its mineral finish. This showed well at the National Wine Awards, garnering a solid silver at a bargain price. Ready to drink now. The winery says it is perfect when paired with sushi, butter chicken, or BBQ shrimp skewers.Tasted: 16 September 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $22.90 | 750ml | winery online, BC Wineshop |
