Product notes
Perpetua means long-lasting... continuous, which represents to our family the concept of generations - our roots and our future. Harvested from four individual blocks at our Border Vista Vineyard in Osoyoos. Historic French Burgundian Dijon clones were used for this Chardonnay, lending a unique flavour and an aromatic profile.
Production notes
An extremely warm and dry start to the year. In early June, we experienced a cool and wet spell followed by an unprecedented midsummer heat leading to the earliest start of harvest and highest number of growing degree days on record.
Tasting notes
Bright fruit and incredibly fresh acidity highlight the 2021 vintage of Perpetua. Notes of stone fruit, citrus, and flint are highlighted by a fine lemon acidity and seductive textures. Harmonious integration of fruit, oak, and texture.
