Erigone Chardonnay, Brda, Slovenia – 2019

From a three hectare vineyard of 32 year old vines on ponka-based, hillside soils. This Chardonnay has lovely depth of flavour and a delicious butterscotch oak influence from its maturation in ex-Domaine Leflaive barrels. The acidity is pure and fresh and there’s a gentle hint of salty minerality on the finish.  Effortlessly balanced and surprisingly complex for the price.

Winemaker’s tip:- serve with a shrimp risotto

Saftig, helles Karamell, weiße Schokolade, gelbe Tropenfrucht, mineralisch und anhaftend, ein cremiger Speisenbegleiter, gutes Reifepotenzial, bereits antrinkbar.” 92/100 Falstaff
