The Story

The absolute attention to detail and meticulous screening and selection make this Chardonnay extremely distinctive.

Written Notes

Bright, green yellow colour. Intense, buttery nose with charming toastiness. Dry palate is gently dominated by new oak but still in elegant manner. Oak dominates still in the long and broad aftertaste. This wine shouts for creamy fatty fish dish or chicken. Great dish is herb-crusted chicken brest filled with pistachio butter.  

  • 92p

Deep shiny gold with touches of lime green, the wine reveals on the nose an explosion of cedar, walnuts, honey, toasted bread, vanilla, honeysuckle with touches of pear, laurel, caramel and crème brulée. On the palate, the wine shows a fresh entrance lingering on lemon, brioche, pineapple with touches of quince and star fruit. Intense and profound, the wine represents well this solar vintage.
