Adega on 45th Chardonnay 2025

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAdega on 45th is under new management. Industry veterans Vice President Christa-Lee McWatters and winemaker Karen Yeung are transforming the Osoyoos-based winery, located just north of the US border, into a real player. The Chardonnay grapes are sourced from Hollenbach Family Vineyards in Naramata. You can expect a very clean, fresh style with minimal oak influence, emphasizing pineapple, coconut water, and ripe orchard fruits, and a palate of juicy apple, green peach, and pear streaked with Okanagan sage, fennel, and sagebrush. The safe match is roast chicken, while the adventurous palate is Bacalhau com Natas or codfish with cream.Tasted: 13 July 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
