2010 QUAILS' GATE CHARDONNAY

Winemaker's Notes:

Our Chardonnay grapes were harvested in October 2010 from the Quails’ Gate Estate Boucherie Mountain
vineyards. The rich clay and gravel soils offer mineral
influences, giving the wine interest and complexity.
The 2010 growing season provided an excellent balance
of cool temperatures with good heat when needed.
Our estate grown Chardonnay is 50% tank fermented and 50% barrel fermented in 20% new French and American oak. This combination gives the wine interest and complexity from the barrel ferment while the tank portion provides bright tropical citrus notes.

Tasting Notes:

The palate is rich and complex with sweet floral, honey and hazelnut underpinned with rich tropical fruits and biscuity, sizzled butter notes. The oak is cleverly implanted giving a seamless, silky smooth quality to this well balanced Chardonnay. Serve with wild BC salmon with cranberry almond crust, celeriac clafoutis, wilted kale and white wine fumet.
