"This 100% Chardonnay from the far corners of the world is a wine for connoisseurs with captivating complexity—give it a try!"

“Flint, grilled lemon, peach, mango pieces, and white tea. Textured and complex, with lovely minerality and a pronounced bite. Dense and full-bodied, with a sense of control. Drink now or celller. Screw cap.” (James Suckling 2022)

About the wine:

The 2019 Chardonnay is full-bodied, firm, and well-structured. It is flavorful even in its youth, with delicate notes of toast and smoked bacon that complement its subtle fruity flavors. This is not a shy or reserved Chardonnay.
