A Noble Grape
Chardonnay, known for its remarkable adaptability, is grown in nearly every wine region of the world. It is uniquely able to represent the terroir of its cultivation and the winemaker’s influence. At CheckMate, we aim to showcase the Okanagan’s unique ability to produce Chardonnays of tension and generosity distinct from any other region in the world.
Queen Taken Chardonnay
Vibrant and rich, Queen Taken comes from extremely low-yielding vines at our estate up to 50 years of age, resulting in a deep concentration of flavours in the wine.
Capture Chardonnay
Located on the US-Canada border, the Border Vista vineyard is the warmest site we source from, resulting in a full-bodied wine showing generous fruit.
Little Pawn Chardonnay
A striking vineyard framed by jutting rocks and rugged national parks, Jagged Rock lends complexity to the wine.
Fool’s Mate Chardonnay
A blend of our vineyards, this wine represents the best representation of Chardonnay in the Okanagan Valley.
Queen’s Advantage Chardonnay
Sourced from our estate Combret vineyard, Queen’s Advantage showcases the concentration and delicate finesse of our historic 1973 plantings of Chardonnay.
Knight’s Challenge Chardonnay
The Sunset vineyard receives late sun exposure on the low-vigour soils of the Black Sage Bench. Sourced from two micro-blocks, Knight’s Challenge achieves a perfect balance of power and elegance.
Attack Chardonnay
An expression of our dynamic terroir through the lens of a unique winemaking vessel. This wine is a blend of several vineyard sites fermented as one in a large oak cask.
