2023 Phoenix Chardonnay
PHOENIX Wines are a gateway to exploring new wine styles. While our premium Corcelettes Winery brand showcases estate-grown grapes from the Similkameen Valley, PHOENIX wines venture beyond our estate, sourcing grapes from nearby regions with complimenting varietals and unique characteristics. By thoughtfully selecting these non-estate grown grapes, we unlock the potential to express our art and create exciting wines that are more accessible in price without compromising on taste or experience.
PHOENIX Wines invites wine enthusiasts of all levels to join us and experience the thrill of discovery!

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
On the nose you'll discover apricot, pear, lemon zest and white peach- the palate explodes with Meyer lemon cantaloupe, and green apple. Fermented and aged in 100% concrete, this Chardonnay is fresh, crisp and mineral driven. Great texture with a creamy mouthfeel.
"Fleshy white peach, green apple and candied lemon frame the nose of this zesty Chardonnay. The palate is high-toned and structured with juicy stone fruit, lime and herbal notes, finishing soft with a pleasant and subtle creaminess." - Heather Rankin, WineAlign
