2020 Lightning Rock CanyonView Vineyard Chardonnay🔥 93pts

There's a stunning similarity between this Chardonnay and the Traditional Method Sparkling from the same CanyonView Vineyard. The vintage and the terroir are absolutely shining here. Bright acidity, energy, tension and minerality are on full display. Add to this: a beautiful oak profile with one new French oak barrel in the blend (plus five neutral oak) that brings texture and complexity. On the nose, aromas of pear, peach, lime and chamomile. Meanwhile the palate is rich but precise with flavours of lemon curd, yellow apple, pear and a hint of white pepper. (Carl Boucher, Sept 2025). Only 140 cases made!
