Fletcher
C15 Chardonnay
Langhe, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
It definitely says C20 on the label, i am not sure if it refers to the vintage and it changes every time
However it is very good
It reminds me a lot of an Aussie Chardy, but that i guess it shouldn't be a surprise since Fletcher is indeed from downunder
The wine is rare because there is very little Chardonnay in Langhe and also too because production is very small
I like it a lot, but am i fully convinced yet?
Perhaps not, but i would drink more of it for sure
BTW the wine is in a great balance with crispness and creaminess, it feels like it didn't finish the malo perhaps

displays some typical Chardonnay notes of white peach, melon rind, nougat and lemon zest with some caramelised orange, Turkish delight, sandalwood in the mix too. Fruit is ripe, but certainly note over ripe and the palate come acid profile has some salinity to it providing tension and freshness, matched by a deliciously long finish.

Unreal tension in this Langhe Chardy. Aussie winemaker in Piedmont (Ceretto). Racy acidity, citrus, mineral, honeyed, earthy nutty tones. Fleshy, long arse finish! Yum. Excellent value at $42. Pity only few made.
