2020 Magnum Chardonnay

Source 

Duncan Vineyard on the Naramata Bench.

Winemaking

The grapes are hand-harvested and whole bunch pressed. Fermentation occurs in French oak barrels, using a combination of standard barrels and puncheons. The wine is aged in barrel on the lees for 10 months, 25% new oak, and undergoes partial malolactic fermentation.  

Tasting Notes

The nose expresses pronounced aromas of tropical fruit, citrus, and toasted almond. The mouthfeel is rich and textured yet fresh at the same time. Flavours of baked apple, preserved lemon, crème brûlée, and biscotti dance on the palate.

Immediately approachable with cellaring potential reaching 7 years.
