Blue Grouse Chardonnay 2024

Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaBlue Grouse continues its steadfast march into the future, now backed and buoyed by Jackson Family Wines. The refreshed label reflects the fresher, more modern styling. This Cowichan Valley chardonnay blends estate fruit with nearby Enrico Vineyards. It was fermented in French barrels and puncheons (13% new), with full MLF before 10 months on lees. Bright green apple, lemon is scented with subtle toasted oak and slicked with a fine layer of lees. Bright coastal salinity is woven throughout, keeping this on the skinnier side and Wine Islands true.Tasted: 24 May 2026Tasted by: Prices:
