I've never had any whites from Moraine as far as I recall, but I do remember them having a really good value red, probably a Bordeaux blend though I can't recall as it's been a couple of years since I tried it.
Have you tried La Stella Leggiero Chardonnay? They have a blog post on their website that mentions they were inspired by Chards from the cool, high altitude Alto Adige region of northern Italy. Alto Adige is one of our main comparable regions to Salmon Arm which is the reason we are trying Gewurztraminer and Sauvignon. We're also looking at Lagrein as one of our red options to test. Anyway just curious if you have any more insight on cool-climate Chardonnay?
