Score 93/100 · James Suckling, Sep 2019

This has a beautifully composed nose with fresh lemons, yellow grapefruit and white peaches, as well as gently chalky and fresh, nutty complexity. The palate has a succulent, juicy and crisp feel with sleek pears and melon and a gentle, acacia-like, herbal edge. Drink now.

Score 94/100 · Drink 2019-2027, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2019

The 2017 Chardonnay Estate is quite different in style than the 2016 tasted alongside it. Tangerine oil, yellow orchard fruit, mint, wild flowers and tropical overtones give the 2017 a touch of exoticism that is impossible to miss. Already quite expressive, it is a real joy to taste today. To be sure, the 2017 is more flamboyant than readers might be accustomed to here, but the wine is striking in its beauty.

The 2017 Chardonnay Estate has a delicate but intense nose of stone, white mushroom, dried hay and soft yellow fruits with notes of hazelnut, spring honey and orange blossom. Medium-bodied with great intensity in the mouth, it has wonderful layers of nutty/honeyed fruit, tangy acidity and a layered, energetic finish. Wow that's good! 552 cases produced.
