Sweet aromas of honeysuckle, lemon meringue, and apricot. Semi-sweet, with well-balanced acidity. Lengthy finish of nuttiness, candied orange peel, and pear.

Growing conditions

These certified-organic Chardonnay grapes were grown in the Kalala Vineyard in West Kelowna.
Picking started on December 23 when the temperature dropped to -9.5 and the fruit was at 39 Brix.

1.5 tons of grapes were picked giving 400 L of icewine.

Winemaking notes

We selected the 2 TD specialty yeast for the fermentation of our Chardonnay icewine. We did a long, slow fermentation for 68 days, keeping the fruit flavours prominent. Partial barrel aging.
