2022 Capture Chardonnay

Complex aromas leap from the glass, combining lemon verbena, nectarine, honey, and ocean spray. Flavours of stone fruits, citrus and sage brush fill the palate. This is a powerful wine with a long sea salt finish.

CheckMate Winery Capture Chardonnay Bottle

Border Vista Vineyard

This single parcel, planted in 1997 to Dijon clonal material, is a mere ten metres from the BC-Washington border on the east side of Osoyoos Lake.

The vineyard, with Anarchist Mountain towering above it to the east, has​ a​ slight undulation​s​ characteristic​s​ of what was once the floor of a large glacial lake.

The wine begins with intense aromas of orange peel and stone fruits. The palate also displays flavours of nectarine and peach. The finish is very long.

97 Points, John Schreiner

Over the years, Capture has been one of the best Checkmate labels. Always opening with a flinty, seawater, mineral note, this wine comes from a section of 8 rows within their warmest vineyard. The palate combines peaches, honey, and a creamy, mineral texture.
