Community Tasting Note

Juliansi Likes this wine:

Friday, September 16, 2022 - Heavyweight white and complex too.. I have to say when I saw the simple label and my memories of Querciabella's typically modest price points, I wasn't expecting much!

Blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco, produced biodynamically and grown organically.

Intoxicating Chamomile flowers, creamy and buttery with such beautiful density.

I may be tough with 4 stars, but only because its not quite hit its drinking window which likely will start in 2024 for circa 10 years. An aged Tuscan white, how amazing!

Thanks to bro @Mika Tyson Teau for this introduction, great to find a serious white with such deep complexity. The 1st bottle at our Chinese dinner welcoming Steven and Sally who were transiting from their hols on the way back to Down Under.

Jancis Robinson describes the 2018 Batar as a fancy Burg such as Corton-Charlemagne, I would certainly call that a compliment!

2018 is described as a great Batar vintage due to the cool weather, and heavy rainfall producing a Chard blend with fragrance and a juicy palate, with minerality and a long finish too.

Delightful!
