Tasting Notes: Chardonnay Musqué grapes sourced from Skaha Bluff and Naramata Bench vineyards were used for JoieFarm's reserve release of the Burgundian variety. A complex barrel program has contributed a subtle, French oak presence on the rich, yet, vibrant nose and the bright, yet, layered palate. Melon and pear fruit mingle with Brazil nut and cold butter aromas on the burgeoning bouquet, followed by flavours of Asian pear, white peach and tangy grapefruit. There is texture to spare and length on the finish.
Ready to go now, or hold for another 4-5 years with some potential for further development. Drink 2018-2023.
