2018 Long Sunday Lunch on the Langhe: Luca served this wine from his homeland blind. Most picked the wine as a Chardonnay but it was difficult to place or categorise. Clean and pure with a little minerality. The Tzora was viscous and tactile with good weight and power. It was citric but more grapefruit than lemon with pears and peaches and a touch of more exotic fruits (perhaps guava?). It showed good acidity, particularly for a wine from such a warm climate. There was also a little toasty oak (Luca said it was 75% in barrel, but 45% large format). Luca noted the 10% Sauvignon Blanc, which adds a little complexity to the wine. Very good.

A blend of 86% Chardonnay, and 14% Sauvignon blanc this year. A balanced nose with aromas of fresh apple, lemon, and minerals. On the palate, appley Chardonnay fruit, very nice saltiness Light to medium body. Rich with a creamy texture, yet subtle and clean with amazing acidity This wine was surprisingly balanced and elegant. the Crispness of the Sauvignon and the richness from the Chardonnay work very well together this year.
