Checkmate Attack Chardonnay

A unique reflection of its terroir and aging vessel, this wine exhibits synergy, balanced acidity, and the aromatics of a truly handcrafted wine. Winemaking and foudre combine to impart aromas of the seashore with wet stones, flint, lychee and spices on the nose, combined with a tropical lift. The palate has a zesty entry, with a hint of richness and minerals followed by a lingering flavour of lychee, ginger, spice and seat salt. This is a unique, modern Chardonnay that also pays homage to the old world. 94 Points - Anthony Gismondi
