LEANING POST |
| Medium straw colour, Intense, fairly complex, ripe, lemon-apple meringue nose with lots of minerally notes. Dry, medium-plus bodied,nicely textured, rather toasty, ripe, lemon-apple meringue flavours with a lingering, harmonious finish. This 2022 is a blend of three different vineyard with four different picking dates and was fermented in concrete with spontaneous fermentation followed by 8 months aging on full lees in concrete (the latter accounts for the toasty notes). It was was then racked, lightly filtered and bottled (550 cases) on September 7th, 2023. This very well-priced, ready-to-enjoy Chardonnay comes with a screwcap closure and is perfect to drink today. |

| TASTING NOTE: What was once a true matter of 50-50 barrel to steel raising has morphed and is now another matter. A concrete matter for today's 50, full of fruit and fuller after its cementing, a posit tug still, even though wood and steel no longer play the push-pull game. More about fruit versus lees, tension so tight the rope never seems to budge, but it sways and slings within inches of itself. A bloody poignant vintage in spite of warmth, contiguous from its wild ferment and winemaking truth. Drink 2024-2026. Tasted at i4C, July 2024. Score - 90 (Michael Godel, winealign.com) |
