Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Soft and lovely! Aromas of golden pear and apple, with creamy lemon and hints of warm baking spice. Full bodied, smooth and soft on the palate, with ripe citrus, soft honey and toffee notes, and a warm spicy note on the finish. Nicely balanced, tons of flavour, enjoy with and rich shellfish dishes, or classic herb-roasted chicken.
We love Quails' Gate Chardonnay from the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia. Fresh on the nose with layers of ripe pear, apple, dried pineapple, citrus curd, butterscotch, baking spice and mineral flavours mouth filling and silky on the palate. The winery was founded in 1956 and owned and operated by the Stewart family. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
