JoieFarm En Famille Chardonnay 2022

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe fruit was sourced from Con Vida Vineyard, Skaha Bluff, and Secrest Mountain Vineyard in Oliver. The majority of grapes were destemmed and crushed, while a portion remained as whole clusters to enhance structural integrity and aromatic complexity. Following fermentation, the wine was aged for nine months, 10% in new, medium toast Mercury barrels, with the balance in second fill and neutral oak. This process delivers a wine with fresh aromatics, nuanced creamy textures, and an appealing palate marked by subtle complexity. Notes of pear and peach are prominent, leading into a spicy mid-palate and a finish characterized by fresh mineral undertones and light toast.Tasted: 14 September 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
