The Census Count Chardonnay
Okanagan Valley BC VQA
History:
Naturalist Major Allan Brooks helped organize the first Christmas Day bird count in the Okanagan in 1905. This annual affair speaks to the early and existing appreciation of nature in the Okanagan Valley.
Tasting Notes:
Our 2009 Chardonnay features luscious ripe pear and fresh apple notes which linger with a lovely long finish. This wine is crisp, elegant and well-balanced.
Food Pairing Notes:
A classic Okanagan Chardonnay, this wine is ideally served slightly chilled
with roasted chicken, creamy pasta sauces, or grilled vegetables.
