2023 Da Silva Chardonnay 🔥 92+pts

Fresh and distinctive, the new Da Silva Chardonnay is another stunning release. Sourced from their home vineyard on the Naramata Bench and the OI’Lemke's Vineyard in Osoyoos, this Chardonnay delivers a fantastic blend of citrus fruits vis a vis orchard fruits, with an impressive overall complexity. The nose opens up with captivating aromas of lime, orange peel, peach, tangerine, jasmine flowers and a hint of honeysuckle. On the palate, it displays bright and vibrant flavours of white peach, lemon drop and yellow apple, driven by a lively acidity. The orchard and citrus notes are beautifully complemented by a subtle brioche character, while the American oak influence adds a pleasant roundness, enhancing the wine’s balance and structure. The alcohol level is spot on with just under 13 percent. The finish has a great deal of energy, while white spice develops slowly and ramps up intensity towards the very end.
