Floral and citrus aromatics carry into a savoury, lively, saline and citrus palate that leaves even the tactile effect of saline on the palate through the long finish. Flinty accents also persist throughout. While the aromatics are pretty and lifted, they transform into a palate of power. There is initially less complexity here than the other Sta Rita Hills wines but more power of presence. This wine is the most palate-filling as well. It wants a bit of time in bottle to integrate and gain finesse, which it certainly has, but it is showing as restrained exuberance currently instead. Allow it some time in the cellar before opening.

The 2021 Chardonnay Romance has layered scents of apricot, quince, matchstick, almonds, panna cotta and pie crust. The medium-bodied palate is powerful and expressive, with a highly concentrated core of nuanced fruit and expansive spice and savory accents. It has a luxuriously satiny texture and vibrant acidity that combines with its mineral character to create a long, shimmery finish. With all that flavor and energy, it will be long lived in bottle.保税价格￥ 7,213.00 -

It was a great pleasure to visit Rajat Parr in Santa Barbara at the beginning of this year and to see some of the extreme sites his team are farming. Since 2011, Raj and his winemaker Sashi Moorman have been producing consistently thrilling Chardonnays and the 2014s may well be their best to date. This wine, which hails from a vineyard planted in 1971 by the pioneering Richard Sandford, is beautiful, opening in the glass with a complex bouquet of lemon zest, tart pear, tangerine oil, subtle hazelnut and a lick of noble reduction. On the palate the wine is concentrated, intense and deep at the core, with great cut and energy through a finish that tingles with minerality. At 12% alcohol this is very far from the caricature of California Chardonnay, and readers who are about to get stung by 2015 Burgundy pricing should give this a serious look.保税价格￥ 4,320.00 -

The 2017 Sauvignon Blanc is 100% Sauvignon Blanc, coming from a small section of estate vines closer to the Napa river. It is entirely fermented in French oak, but only about 5% is new. The grapes are pressed straight to barrels and kept on their gross lees. The wine is fermented using native yeasts. This vintage, the nose is not at all shy—it comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant scents of ripe peaches, passion fruit and musk perfume plus wafts of honeycomb, elderflower, ripe gooseberries and lemongrass with a waft of Bosc pears. The palate is super intense and yet ethereally weighted, light-bodied and oh-so-fine, elegant and refreshing, featuring a whole array of chalk and sea spray sparks, creating a shimmer to all the many citrus and stone fruit layers, finishing with great length and energy. There is a truly interesting phenolic texture to the palate that reminds me of some Chardonnays, particularly Burgundian examples. Winemaker Nick Gislason commented that the gross lees contain a lot of phenolic content, which is where the wine picks up that textural component. Love it!保税价格￥ 137,980.00 -

I've always loved the Chardonnay from this team, and their 2019 Chardonnay Red Shoulder Ranch has that classic richer, full-bodied style while staying balanced and light on its feet. Buttered lemons, tangerines, green almond, and toasty notes all make an appearance, and it's incredibly textured, with nicely integrated acidity and one heck of a finish. This powerful Chardonnay is going to impress right out of the gate.保税价格￥ 4,285.00 -

The 2016 Chardonnay Upper Barn Vineyard comes from the oldest vines on the estate, planted in 1982. Fermented in barrel and aged for 11 months in 47% new French oak, it is a little closed to begin, slowly unfurling to reveal pink grapefruit, white peaches and Granny Smith apples with nuances of honeysuckle, lemon tart and praline. Medium to full-bodied, it explodes in the mouth with citrus and savory layers, with a gorgeous silkiness and loads of ginger and mineral sparks coming through on the finish. Wow! 813 cases produced.保税价格￥ 1,650.00 -

The 2022 Chardonnay Talinay Caliza hails from a tiny chalky plot of the Talinay Vineyard in Limarí, and was aged for 10 months in French oak barrels. The precise nose presents green apple and creamed corn notes with hints of hazelnut, praline, wet stone and a faint layer of gunpowder. Dry and concentrated in the mouth. The chalky, taut, refreshing feel produces a complex palate before the mouth-watering finish. A coastal Chardonnay of rare character.保税价格￥ 1,580.00 -

The painterly Talinay vineyard, located just 12 kilometres from the Pacific Ocean on limestone soils, supplies the grapes for this superb, naturally fermented Chardonnay from Felipe Müller. Taut, restrained and wonderfully focused, it has oyster shell and struck match aromas, chalky, citrus and vanilla spice flavours and a saline finish. As close as Chile gets to the flavours of Grand Cru Chablis. 2022-30保税价格￥ 1,300.00 -

This wine comes from a single three-acre Chardonnay vineyard introduced to Tor Kenward by Larry Hyde in 2008. It belonged to one of Larry Hyde’s oldest friends in the Napa Valley, Steve Beresini, and was planted three decades ago with cuttings Larry gave Steve. This is now referred to as “Hyde Selection Wente Clone.” Today it produces a minuscule crop, usually between one and two tons per acre, with clusters half the normal size. Primary coopers are Saury and three-year dry aged Francois Frères. The 2017 Chardonnay Beresini Vineyard Cuvee Torchiana opens with lifted lemon, lime and mandarin scents with fresh pears and ginger plus croissant notions. The palate is big, rich, full-bodied, decadent, lively and hedonistic, with spicy and savory layers and a very, very long finish. 314 cases produced.保税价格￥ 6,210.00 -

The 2019 Fósil San Pablo is a Chardonnay from San Pablo that follows the steps of the 2018, with its moderate alcohol and notable acidity and freshness. It comes from grapes planted at 1,400 meters above sea level in the coolest place possible. It's citrusy and has notes of aromatic herbs with restraint. On the palate, it's vibrant and very dry, with marked chalkiness. It's more about the place than the grape. 4,300 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2019.保税价格￥ 1,770.00 -

Undergoing no malolactic fermentation, the gorgeous 2023 Chardonnay Fosil is fermented and aged in concrete. The acidity is wow-level, integrated into the whole with seamless ease, fresh and persistent. Light on its feet, it shows a deep conviction of place and minerality, its savory earthiness complemented by notes of green apple and pear. Zuccardi made his first version of this in 2016 at a time when Chardonnay in Argentina was overly oaky and underwent full malolactic fermentation. He soon fell in love with using concrete to ferment and age his whites grown at high altitude. Delightfully complex, structured, and textured, this is a beautiful representation of cool-climate, high-elevation grape growing and winemaking, with flecks of stone, flint, and lemon pith. Layered in waves of flavor, the acidity keeps it fresh and lively throughout a palate of undulating flavor and deliciousness. Drink now through 2033.保税价格￥ 2,060.00
