SpearHead Winery 2019 Saddle Block Chardonnay (East Kelowna) Okanagan Valley - BCAvailability: Direct from winery here
Cost: $30
Alcohol: 13.5%
Production: 169 cases
Date Tasted: August 29th, 2021
Tasting Notes: This Chardonnay, using the same Burgundian clone 95 as its portfolio cousin from the Naramata Bench, is sourced from the winery's home vineyard in East Kelowna and offers a similar flavour profile but with a more elegant and balanced result. Here the oak treatment is subtle and lovingly structures the happy marriage of ripe orchard and melon fruit to the lively, tanginess of the citrus fruit. The finish is long and balanced. Drink 2021-2024.
