A Canadian Chardonnay that has slipped under the radar for too long. Uniquely Canadian with a great aroma, clean, crisp, refreshing notes of citrus, apple and hints of coconut it's a beautifully balanced treat. 🇨🇦

What a fabulous, fresh, full bodied chardonnay. Lots of crisp fruity notes. We enjoyed this with a prawn fettuccine and WOW where we impressed. Maybe it was our setting under our friends fig tree, but I think it was the wine that set the tone.

Wonderful chardonnay from Canada. Layers of citrus and mango, slight note of oak. Nice dry wine.

What a delightful surprise. I expected average but this is good, dry and oaky. Enjoy. Rivals Napa, suggested.

This outstanding Chardonnay is a testament to how the Okanagan vineyards just keep getting better every year. From the 2019 “Canadian Winery of the Year” comes this delightful Okanagan Chardonnay. Presenting enticing notes of citrus and “stone fruits” matched perfectly with a bright, smooth mouth texture from its gentle oak aging it leaves lasting legs. Cheers 🍷🇨🇦

Nice, but hoping for more oakey, buttery depth and less citrus.

Pale color. Light cherry blossom and honeysuckle nose. Light crisp clean citrus without tartness. Great mouth feel and weight for a light wine. Short, but flavorful finish.

First BC Chardonnay. Lovely. Not as minerally as its cousins in Ontario or New York but not an oak bomb either. Lots of tropical fruits and spice. Went great with chicken and leeks.
