    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    A captivating nose that combines crisply mineral, gunflint and struck match aromas with enticing roasted nut, sesame and lemon zest. As it hits the palate, sparks of acidity illuminate a concentrated, intense and flinty palate. Kudos to Jeff Brinkman and his team as this this plays all our favourite Chardonnay notes to perfection; salty smoky reductive notes layered over crystalline fruit on a supple structure with beautifully polished edges. This is a Chardonnay, up there with the best; intense, complex layered and yet measured. Wonderful stuff.

    Antonio Galloni,

    One of the many highlights in this range, the 2018 Chardonnay Horseshoe Vineyard is positively stunning. Lemon confit, orchard fruit, matchstick, tangerine oil and a range of saline-infused notes all run through the 2018, a Chardonnay that exudes finesse, elegance and a real sense of energy. It is one of the finest Chardonnays I have tasted from Rhys.
