Lunessence Estate Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2023

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaLunessence is operating sustainably farmed organic vineyards on the home estate in Summerland. It is the second edition of this label, which reminds me of a modern California chardonnay with an Okanagan sensibility (with way better acid). It undergoes a complete malolactic fermentation, softening the acidity and giving the wine a creamy texture as it rests in neutral French barrels that provide an environment for expansion. Honey and vanilla dominate the red apple palate, giving it an attractive, perfumed style that will appeal to many.Tasted: 22 October 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
