CheckMate Attack Chardonnay 2018

Product description

A unique reflection of its terroir and aging vessel, this wine exhibits synergy, balanced acidity, and the aromatics of a truly handcrafted wine.

Winemaking and foudre combine to impart aromas of the seashore with wet stones, flint, lychee and spices on the nose, combined with a tropical lift.  The palate has a zesty entry, with a hint of richness and minerals followed by a lingering flavour of lychee, ginger, spice and seat salt.  This is a unique, modern Chardonnay that also pays homage to the old world.

92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

There's a big hit of sweet wood up front, a lot of vanilla and a touch of coconut. Overall, however, this is a well-balanced and very elegant Chardonnay that is never overwhelmed by the wood impact.
