Checkmate, Attack Chardonnay, Okanagan Valley, 2015

This small-lot wine – from an estate in the same portfolio as Mission Hill – sees lees stirring and 16 months' ageing in two foudres, 50% new. It's delicate yet concentrated with real wet-stone salinity and excellent acid drive, packed with ripe Asian pears, honeydew melon and deft oak spicing.
