This Chardonnay is a symphony of flintiness and tightly wound elegance, displaying concentrated depth and a rapier-like acidity. The palate is adorned with a touch of salty minerality, leading to a long and flashy finish. This is not just any Chardonnay; it's a masterpiece from a regional icon.
Palate - The palate introduces delicate white peach and melon, leading to a very pure and restrained mid-palate. It’s fine, elegant and transparent: the schist soils making their mark. Indigenous yeast and malolactic, not fined or filtered, minimal influence of oak (all as usual), makes for a very precise and site expressive Chardonnay.
Pairs with Seafood such as oysters, shrimp, crab, or grilled fish.
96 Points - James Suckling
Yellow apple, apricot and acacia followed by baking spices, marzipan and stony minerality with a touch of cheese rind. Medium-bodied with a good backbone of acidity which balances out the wine well. Beautiful harmony and drinkability. Mendoza clone (Wente) on own roots. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification.
