WineDiva's Review

Elegant, outstanding, complex.

The Mavety family has been growing grapes high above Vaseaux Lake in the South Okanagan since 1971. Since 1991 they have been making their own wines under the Blue Mountain label and Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and their sparkling wine program are their specialties.
This reserve cuvee Chardonnay is a selected blend of five clones from 16-34 year old vines; it was fermented with native yeasts and aged in oak barrel on lees.
I've not tasted this wine since the 2017 vintage and that one was seamless and profound. This 2022 is outstanding; fresh melon and apples with orange blossoms, honeysuckle and faint spiced notes. The palate shows notable complexity and purity with similar fruity melon, pear and apple flavours underscored by fine spice and hazelnuts. A lovely wine, bright and lively but with a creamy character and long finish.
