Mclean Creek Chardonnay, Meyer Family Vineyards, Okanagan Falls, 2021 Canada, (r)

A refined cool-climate Chardonnay that showcases vibrant fruit purity and elegant structure. Fermented and aged for 11 months on lees in French oak (22% new), it undergoes full malolactic fermentation, lending a creamy texture and integrated complexity.

Sourced from the varied exposures of the McLean Creek Road Vineyard, this wine delivers intensity and precision, with layers of citrus, green apple, white stone fruit, and subtle oak influence—vanilla bean, toasted hazelnut, and a mineral thread running through. It’s both powerful and poised, reflecting the finesse and typicity of Canadian Chardonnay at its best.

This is one of winemaker Chris Carson’s and Meyer’s quintessential representations of premium Okanagan Chardonnay.

Critical acclaim:
92–93 points – praised for its finesse, balance, and purity of expression.
