On the nose: Pronounced notes of toasted brioche and caramel.
On the palate: Subtle notes of baked apple, vanilla, and caramel.
Enjoy with: Bacon-wrapped pan-seared scallops, bacon, and sundried tomato carbonara, breaded, stuffed chicken thighs with mushroom sauce.
Winemaking: Grapes were hand-sorted then whole bunch pressed from two different vineyards in Osoyoos. 100% barrel fermented with 20% new French oak. Lees stirring post ferment and full malolactic conversion.

I have one word for this Chardonnay. Amazing! Well, actually more than one word. McWatters Collection 2020 Chardonnay is lush, elegant and beautifully crafted. A lot of thought went into this complex but easy to read Chardonnay with a lot of finesse. The wine is dry, medium-plus-bodied, not heavy, more voluptuous with pitch-perfect balance of acidity and well-integrated oak spice. It's like sipping on buttered popcorn, ripe golden apple, lemon curd, toffee, vanilla cream, pepper and nutmeg spice, smooth and mouth-filling with a lingering flinty mineral kiss. It is a happy marriage between Napa Valley and Burgundy Chardonnay wine styles (can that really happen?) : )
