cool and restrained nose offers an appealingly spicy array of red currant

The tannins are sweet and balanced against the wine's inner fruit flavors

Compared to other examples I have enjoyed

incense and orange peel are all very much alive in the glass

dead-fruit flavors and bright acidity on the finish

Rhys, Horseshoe Vineyard Chardonnay other_regions_italy cool and restrained nose offersOne 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. Antonio Galloni
