2014 Giaconda Chardonnay

Wine is not just for drinking. Equally important is the joy its aromas can bring. The 2014 Estate Chardonnay is such a wine, you can just sit back and immerse yourself in the aromatic complexity of minerality, matchstick, wood spice and funky fruit. But that would be an injustice. This wine really needs time, that is time to allow its multiple veils to slowly reveal. Matchstick, complex funky sulphides, white stone fruit, exotic spices, grilled hazelnuts and then again another layer of fruit. Textured but not heavy. This wine shows more each time you return to it. To smell is to taste. A complex and finely crafted wine, augmented by carefully incorporated oak and perfectly judged acidity. - 2016
