Tasting notes
Glossy and crystalline, the 2021 Chardonnay Sigrid takes on finessed aromas of Anjou pear, almond, and citrus oils. Full-bodied, with a silky texture, it’s long on the palate and offers fantastic purity and a luxurious feel. Initially on opening, you feel the tension that will carry this wine across the next decade, although as it opens in the glass, it offers a lot of youthful appeal. If opening any time soon, I recommend a quick decanting for it to show its best.

The 2021 Chardonnay Sigrid is bright and crystalline, offering scents of Meyer lemon, almonds, meringue and flint. The palate is surprisingly powerful! It explodes with concentrated apple and almond layers, while its firm, linear acidity provides tension. It has a very long, mouthwatering finish and will benefit from 2-3+ years in bottle.
The 2021 Chardonnay Sigrid opens with a savory bouquet, blending incense, ginger, dusty florals and hints of fleshly sliced peach. This is a model of refinement, silky and sapid with tactile mineral tones offsetting its ripe white pit fruits as a core of stimulating acidity maintains marvelous freshness. There's so much complexity here, as the 2021 finishes long, with a lingering salinity perfectly balanced by a tinge of candied citrus and hints of young kiwi.
