100% Ansonica, from the Island of Giglio - just off the Tuscan coast.
“Testamatta 2021 is a pure expression of the Ansonica on Giglio Island. It delivers perfumes of sliced apple, peach and lemon peel while the 12 months of aging provide final hints of toasted spices. Testamatta 2021 encompasses the power of the vintage with a bright acidity and minerality given by the granitic soil. It’s so energetic and vivid, it’s like walking on Giglio ‘slopes!” Bibi Graetz.
"The dried fruits of pineapple, apricot and cooked apple and peaches in the nose are very attractive. It’s full and dense with lots of fruit and a phenolic and structured texture. Feels more like a red than a white. Salty undertone. Tuscan in personality. Ansonica from a single vineyard on Giglio Island. Drink or hold." — 96 Points, James Suckling
It is a great wine to drink. Always great to taste a fabulous chardonnay. Hope you can bring the Domaine Collotte Chardonnay. It will sell like very well in New Zealand. Please advise when it is available.
For this sort of money you could buy a decent NZ chard....but this wine transcends you to a small village to the east of the Rhone on a balmy summers night...once you have been there you will want to go back again and again
Not tasted yet but have been buying this wine from Wine Direct for as long as they have been importing it .....fact is Grand Veneur only make the good stuff
