Maple Leaf 2008 Reserve Chardonnay
ABOUT THE WINE

Maple Leaf Vineyards 2008 Reserve Chardonnay is hand-crafted from specially selected grapes grown in the beautiful Okanagan Valley. Warm summers with long daylight hours produce a full-bodied Chardonnay with rich fruit character. A portion of the wine is aged in American oak to add complexity. The result is a wonderfully balanced wine that combines sophistication with flair, perfect to complement a culinary seafood masterpiece or to sip while enjoying the sunset.

TASTING NOTES

Our 2008 Reserve Chardonnay has a rich fruit forward style, reminiscent of some of the finest Okanagan Valley crops. Refreshing notes of Ambrosia apple, Redhaven peach, Bartlett pear and prune plum are accented by a subtle and delicate finish of oak and vanilla.
