Tasting Notes: The 20% barrel-aged BC Chardonnay presents a crisp, clean and fruit-forward style with lifted aromatic complexity. The nose opens with expressive tropical fruit notes, led by pineapple and a subtle coconut water freshness, layered with ripe orchard apples and stone fruit. Herbal nuances of sage, fennel, and sagebrush add a distinctive savoury lift and regional character.
On the palate, the wine is bright and precise, with a core of juicy apple, ripe orchard fruit, and soft stone fruit balanced by vibrant tropical tones. The partial barrel influence contributes gentle texture and roundness without dominating, allowing the fruit purity and herbal complexity to remain at the forefront.
Crisp acidity drives the wine through the mid-palate, keeping it fresh, energetic, and well-defined. The finish is clean, fruity, and persistent, echoing pineapple, apple, and subtle herbal notes, with a refreshing and balanced overall impression.Farm Notes: All hand picked Okanagan Valley fruit. Thoughtfully farmed with a commitment to sustainability.Maker Notes: Handled with care, destemmed and gently pressed to maintain purity and finesse.Food Pairing Notes: This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with roast chicken, creamy seafood dishes, grilled salmon, or mushroom risotto. For a Portuguese-inspired pairing, try it alongside Bacalhau com Natas — a traditional creamy cod dish — where the wine’s bright citrus freshness balances the richness while complementing its creamy texture and subtle oak.Appellation: Okanagan Valley VQAFarm Designation: Okanagan Valley VQAAcid: 5.6PH: 3.47Residual Sugar: 2.4Alcohol Percentage: 13.4Grower: Hollenbach Family Vineyards, Naramata, BCClick here for a Product Details Sheet
