Reviews and Ratings

Chardonnay involves our most complex winemaking methods in the Poplar Grove white wine program. The wine is sourced from five individual estate blocks located 80% in Osoyoos and 20% on the Naramata Bench. Our vineyard team harvested the fruit
on five separate dates to ensure the different blocks were at optimal maturity in brix and flavour prole. Each of these blocks are processed and fermented separately. The majority of the Chardonnay is fermented in stainless steel tanks while the remaining 20% is fermented in 500L new French oak
puncheons. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally in the barrel fermented portion of this wine. The blending process of all five estate blocks was completed the last week of January.
