James Suckling: 97 Points

A hint of flint and gunpowder with waxed lemon, oyster shell, mango and salted green apples. Quite a textured, saline expression of chardonnay with tangy flavors and a mineral drive. Full-bodied and reductive with phenolic support. Savory, saline and mouthwatering finish. Love the austerity here. Drink or hold.

Wine Advocate: 94 Points

The 2021 Chardonnay was phenomenal, way above the expectations for the price point. It was produced with pristine grapes from Gualtallary that in the cool 2021 vintage achieved 13.5% alcohol but kept a low pH of 3.05 and 7.7 grams of acidity. It matured in oak barrels that were not topped up and let to develop a veil of flor yeast. The barrels were 500-liter ones, and despite 35% of them being new, the wine doesn't feel marked by the wood. It has the chalky texture of the limestone soils. Superb! This is a bargain that is approachable now, but it should also develop nicely in bottle. 19,600 bottles produced.

Wine Spectator: 91 Points

Presents itself as a fresh, clean and vibrant style, with spicy floral and slate details around crisp apple and Asian pear flavors, before gathering sneaky roundness and length. Reveals a juicy mandarin orange note on the smooth finish, with subtle vanilla and clove accents. Drink now through 2028. 6,400 cases made, 5,000 cases imported.
