| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
WESTCOTT |
| Bright medium straw colour. Intense, gently spicy, ripe, lemon-key-lime fruit on the nose with elegant, pear-tinged, toasty notes. Dry, medium bodied, well structured, bright, harmonious, very slightly spicy, intense, ripe, lemon-apple meringue flavours with a lingering, gently complex, harmonious, gently toasty finish. Perfect with poultry, it seems quite ready-to-drink . This 100% Chardonnay (clones 96 and 95) was barrel fermented with wild yeast and aged for 10 months in French oak. It has 13% alcohol, 3.8 g/L residual sugar and 5.7 g/L total acidity with lot number L0809231 on the lower part of the glass bottle. Assessed on March 11, 2025. |

| TASTING NOTE: Wild ferment and malolactic happenstance, \"and if it occurs simultaneously,\" says winemaker Casey Kulczyk, \"it's fine, I want this.\" Barrel fermented, super turbid going in and also desired. Welcome to 2022, a vintage for which its maker forgets and leaves everything behind because adversity and challenges always puts one on their toes. Cold snap in winter, vine damage and a 60-plus percent loss of buds (on chardonnay). Great quality nonetheless, a new or different estate mix to result in a more linear, tight, bright and for Westcott, extreme iteration. Yet this arrives brilliantly, very young, not itinerantly fruity, but sharp and hyper real. Drink 2025-2029. Tasted at i4C, July 2024. Score - 92 (Michael Godel, winealign.com) |
