2021 Chardonnay
An expressive, fruit-driven Chardonnay that shows a combination of bright lemon, green apple, and juicy apricot, which is elevated by delicate florals and an underlying stony, saline minerality.
Viticulture
The richness and opulent ripeness of our Border Vineyard, 300 metres from the US border on the Osoyoos West Bench, is complemented by stony, gravel-strewn vineyards in the Similkameen and North Bench Oliver.
60% Border Vineyard – Osoyoos
32% Tuc-el-nuit Vineyard – North Bench Oliver
8% Liber Farms Vineyard – Similkameen Valley
Winemaking
This crisp, balanced Chardonnay was aged in stainless steel, including an ‘egginox’, to illuminate the purity and brightness of the Okanagan and Similkameen fruit.
