Produced by the legendary Gaja estate, Gaia \u0026amp; Rey was first released in 1983 as Italy's first iconic Chardonnay, named in honour of Angelo Gaja's daughter, Gaia, and his grandmother, Clotilde Rey. The family’s winemaking philosophy focuses on innovation and the elevation of Piedmontese terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWine Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Gaia \u0026amp; Rey presents a rich golden hue in the glass. On the nose, it is remarkably intense, opening with notes of honey, citrus freshness, and cedar, complemented by complex undertones of pastry cream, sandalwood, and a touch of smoky oak. The palate is full bodied and texturally expansive, balancing ripe citrus and toasted hazelnut with a vibrant, persistent acidity. Composed of 100% Chardonnay, this wine underwent full malolactic fermentation and 18 months of barrel ageing to achieve its signature complexity and refined contours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAccolades\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Vinous - 96 points.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Chardonnay is best suited for pairing with delicate white fish, such as sea bass or turbot, or creamy poultry dishes that complement its textural depth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"300171 - Vendemmia International Wines Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43139027402839,"sku":"716637","price":481.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2479\/4148\/files\/GajaGaiaReyLanghe.jpg?v=1779292755","url":"https:\/\/zyn.ca\/products\/gaja-gaia-rey-bass-langhe-bianco-chardonnay-2023","provider":"ZYN THE WINE MARKET LTD.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
