Chardonnay
Quails’ Gate Winery
About the Wine
Rosemary’s Block Chardonnay is named for and dedicated to our mother Rosemary and her role in creating our family’s winery. Situated on the north side of Boucherie Road at the Quails’ Gate Estate in West Kelowna, Rosemary’s Block vines produce some of the best Chardonnay grapes in the Okanagan. This beautifully crafted white is graceful and refined with an impressive intensity at its core. These premium grapes have been whole-cluster pressed and barrel fermented in a mixture of 27% new and 73% neutral French oak for 10 months. Full malolactic fermentation and regular battonage contribute to the wine’s rich, creamy character. Enjoy now through 2031.
Tasting Notes
This vintage showcases lifted aromas of lemon zest, almond and creamy hazelnut. A fresh entry unfolds into a vibrant, mineral-driven mid-palate with stone fruit-forward flavours.
Pairing Notes
The creaminess and freshness of this of this Chardonnay pairs perfectly alongside light and delicate dishes. Try pairing with roasted halibut, seared scallops or a light and creamy pasta dish.
