2022 Chardonnay Small Lot Series

93 Points - Natalie Maclean
"Now this is special! Small Lot Series Chardonnay is made in exceptional vintages only and I can tell you that the 2022 vintage is exceptional. This is the second release of this wine (after the 2019 WineAlign Platinum Award winner) made with 100% Chardonnay sourced from the Naramata Bench. The grapes were wild fermented in neutral oak barrels and the wine was aged on its lees for five months in stainless-steel tank. Fresh with aromas of ripe apple, citrus curd and toasted nut, the wine is dry, medium-plus-bodied, mouth-filling with ripe yellow apple, citrus zest, nutty and leesy flavours crazy plushy and ultra-balanced with a very long finish. Whether you are a Chardonnay lover or not, you don’t want to miss out on tasting this beautifully crafted Naramata chard with a lot of finesse." - Natalie Macelan (August 2023)
