| | Tasted by johnnr on 4/20/2021 & rated 88 points: The wine may be past its prime. There is a spritzy element to the wine after an hour of being open. (635 views) |
| | Tasted by ccotton8 on 1/8/2020: This has developed a little more weight, but still very light and zippy. Flavors are still tropical and bright but I did get more lemon this time around. Great wine, great with food, pretty good QPR will buy again if I see it. (1179 views) |

| | Tasted by bradfriedlander on 3/29/2019 & rated 89 points: Dry with tropical fruit top notes. Foods with lemon detract from the taste. Medium finish. Paired well with seared scallops, spinach, and cauliflower au gratin. (1030 views) |
| | Tasted by ccotton8 on 1/21/2019: Still hard to believe that this is a chardonnay. Consumed over two days, very reminiscent of New Zealand style Sauv Blanc. I was hoping for a softer and muted wine on day two with a 24 hour slow ox, but it was still: lean, crisp, and a ton of grapefruit.
This is definitely a food wine. It is good and well made just an odd ball. (1196 views) |
| | Tasted by bradfriedlander on 1/17/2019 & rated 85 points: Unripe pear. Very dry. Crisp with a medium mouth feel. Medium finish. Paired well with spicy food. Great for those who want Chardonnay that isn't oaky. (892 views) |
| | Tasted by Marrow on 10/21/2018 & rated 98 points: I love this Chardonnay, first purchased in Italy. it is medium bodied and on the palate the yellow fruits and grape shine through. The wine is fermented in oak and stainless, allowing that perfect balance of color, fruit and body to take place. The wine is not overpowered by the oak and has the perfect amount of acidity. Look forward to buying more even at marked up US prices! (636 views) |
| | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 5/15/2018: On the east side of Tuscany. Which is why they think they can make a 100% Chardonnay. Made at the highest point in the property. With the vineyards spread out according to the soil. About 400 m above sea level here.
Tropical and mineral, no oak on the wine. Or rather 20% large used barrel on it. DEfinately has a limestone on the nose. Shockingly so, kinda in a good way. Lean on the palate.
This is much better than I thought it would be. For $20 it works it out. (708 views) |
| | Tasted by ccotton8 on 11/20/2017 & rated 90 points: Its hard to believe that this is a chardonnay, if tasted blind i would have guessed chenin blanc. Lots of bright flavors and a good amount of acid to go with it. The wine started much like a Sauv Blanc from Australia, but as it opened up the oxidation softened the acids and mellow the bright flavors. This paired exceptionally well with Ahi tuna tower and other sushi rolls. Good QPR at $25. (702 views) |
