Written Notes

Pale lemon colour. Fragrant camomile, grapefruit, pure lemon, marzipan hint waxy aromas with superb flinty, quartz notes. Richly concentrated minerally and pure-fruited with ample grapefruit, lemon pastille, hint lime flavours, fine slinky, light chalky textures, lovely mid palate viscosity and underlying and perfectly balanced marzipan, vanilla oak. Finishes bitter-sweet and crunchy with grapefruit glacé, hint quinine, aniseed notes. A palimpsest of flavours and structures with remarkable energy, volume and flow. A brilliant follow up to the gorgeous 2021 vintage and difficult to separate apart. An exquisite Giaconda Estate Vineyard Chardonnay. Australian Grand Cru to its core (again!).
