Tantalus Chardonnay Reserve 2022

East Kelowna Slopes, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe inaugural Tantalus Reserve Chardonnay debuted in 2018, with the 2022 vintage representing only the second release of this distinguished wine. The ambition behind this offering is to produce a refined expression of the estate vineyard situated in the East Kelowna Slopes GI. The Reserve is sourced exclusively from the oldest estate vines, planted in 1985 and 2006. Its golden hue evokes a classic Napa Chardonnay style, complemented by notes of sweet vanilla and baking spices. At the same time, lemon curd and pear, combined with vibrant, nutty acidity, contribute to a fresh and balanced profile of a more modern wine.Tasted: 19 April 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
