Quails' Gate Chardonnay
Quails' Gate Estate Winery
Canada - British Columbia - Okanagan Valley

Quails’Gate Winery takes great pride in their portfolio of Chardonnays. As one of the original wineries in the Okanagan, their first Chardonnay clone was planted more than 30 years ago, and they have cultivated some of the oldest and most sought-after Chardonnay blocks in the region. The Estate Chardonnay is crafted to be bright, fresh, vivid and celebrated by all who drink it.

Tasting notes:
Fragrances of lemon, yellow flower, peach are accompanied by subtle hints of beeswax and vanilla. A bright-entry on the palate with medium acidity leads t o vibrant tastings of pear, lemon meringue crust and lime zest ending with a long and creamy finish.
