2018 Giaconda Estate Vineyard Chardonnay 750ml

Straw gold; exhibits intense characters of white peach, hazelnut, matchstick, lime blossom and subtle notes of tangelo rind. A powerful impact on the palate with endless depth as you peel back the layers; funky reduction then a creamy textured element followed by mineral notes of wet river pebbles. Multilayered, fresh and elegant with tremendous persistence that finishes with strong mineral aromatics. The sheer audacity of this wine is awe inspiring, it drills a hole through your palate, taking no prisoners, it's on a mission to fly the banner for grand old-world chardonnays that have poise and sophistication.

Drinking Window: 2022-2042

"Breathtaking and mesmerizing. Struck flint reduction on another level of pyrotechnic presence and power. Crystalline structure as brilliant as fireworks illuminating a dark firmament. Powerful, inimitable, all-conquering. Yet tense and energetic. Line and length, other-worldly." - Tyson Stelzer Wine Business Magazine  2018 Estate Vineyard Chardonnay
