CedarCreek Aspect Collection Block 5 Chardonnay 2021
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Aspect Collection is all about high quality, terroir-driven wine. The aspect or direction the vine faces usually determines its ultimate quality. At CedarCreek, these single block wines stand apart. Elegance and power are the best recipe for chardonnay, and Block 5 has all that and more. At the highest elevation of Home Block, this chardonnay is alive and full of precision. It is whole bunch pressed and wild fermented in German and French oak vessels before aging in oak for ten months and stainless steel for six months more months to integrate and tighten everything up Burgundy style. Citrus, mineral, and saline notes rule the palate and finish. Drink or hold, this is a well made wine with a big future.Tasted: 09 October 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $62.99 | 750ml | wine club member exclusive |
