2020 Perpetua
Perpetua means long-lasting... continuous, which represents to our family the concept of generations - our roots and our future. Harvested from four individual blocks at our Border Vista Vineyard in Osoyoos. Historic French Burgundian Dijon clones were used for this Chardonnay, lending a unique flavour and an aromatic profile.
REVIEWS & ACCOLADES
"A Golden Delicious apple perfume greets the nose, followed by bursts of lemongrass, talc and petrol. A crisp mouthfeel and lemony acidity go hand in hand with chamomile tea, lemon sorbet and fried sage flavors. The Perpetua was fermented and aged sur lie in French oak puncheons, barriques and concrete egg for 16 months." 94 points - Wine Enthusiast (Michael Alberty)
"A Chardonnay from the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia from two vineyard sites. Elegant lemon creme aromatics are met with lemongrass and honeyed ginger. The palate is rich, with ripe fleshy peach, creamy lemon flavours and fresh elegance that buoys the rich fruit with notes of ginger and beeswax." 92 points Decanter (Clive Pursehouse)
