<p>Old-vine intensity on the nose &ndash; planted in 1973 at the home vineyard on Golden Mile Bench, these are BC&#39;s oldest Chardonnay vines &ndash; along with scented tropical notes of passion fruit and pineapple plus lemon curd. Bright, lemony citrus acidity braces against the sweet fruit flavours with some pie crust oak spice (from 16 months in oak) in support on the silky yet fleshy palate. A wine that shows how good Okanagan Chardonnay can be, made by Australian-born winemaker Phil McGahan, formerly of Williams Selyem in Russian River.</p>
