"Another triumph for the estate's most legendary Chardonnay: one of the greatest in the world according to Suckling!"
"On the nose, there are aromas of dill, lime, green ginger and crushed stones. The palate is extreme, marked by intense mineral tension, pronounced salinity and a delicious severity that sets this wine apart from even the world's greatest Chardonnays. Incredibly fresh and tantalizing. Spectacular. Drink it or cellar it. (James Suckling 2025)

About the wine:
Adrianna Vineyard's Chardonnay White Bones 2023 boasts a typical, lively and intense bouquet of citrus peel, dried spices, white flowers and fresh herbs, which continues to gain in complexity thanks to its organic aging under veil. On the palate, it combines dazzling vivacity with ethereal richness and a delicately creamy core that extends into a mouth-watering mineral finish. A fantastic interpretation of the exotic, precise profile that readers have come to expect from Gualtallary's pioneering Chardonnay. 2025-2038

About the wine:
Gualtallary's Adrianna Vineyard White Bones 2023 Chardonnay, Tupungato, opens with clean notes of huacatay, chamomile and hops. It is reminiscent of reductive Sauvignon Blanc, with complex notes of green apple, mint and hazelnut. Compared to previous vintages, it's lighter and livelier, with a lovely chalky texture and medium body. Quite simply, a magnificent wine. 2025-2037
