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.

critic reviews

96/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous

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.
