Spectacular acidity that only a 2011 vintage in Green Valley could produce. Bright yellow and orange fruit with a satisfyingly viscous finish thanks to a unique stainless steel fermentation with full ML . 3 + years of cellaring left.

I picked this up because we used to serve it at a restaurant I worked at, and I had fond memories of it. Tasting it 8 years later it doesn’t remind me at all of that wine which might be because A) it was a different wine (although it was a twist off unoaked Chardonnay) B) my palate has changed or C) just a difference in vintage. While I remember it being quite buttery, and with strong tropical notes of pineapple and lychee, this wine is more reductive and acidic, with stewed apple or pear.

First look, doesn't look like chardonnay at all. Very clear and flowy. Super alcoholic with sweet smelling

(16.5/20) Свежий и элегантный аромат белых яблок, желтой сливы и цветов. Тельное с умеренной кислотностью. Лёгкая горчинка во вкусе. Приятное. #prowein2017
