ON GIANTS’ SHOULDERS CHARDONNAY 2021

Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
Hand harvested and hand sorted in the vineyard, picking took place on the 14th of March. The nose shows signs of river stone and beautiful minerality, complemented by yellow citrus fruit and citrus flowers with a very light influence of French oak.

"Superb chardonnay here from an exciting Martinborough producer. Its highly refined nose is crammed with baked nectarine and charred pineapple characters and it totally twins where taste is concerned. Youthfully zingy textures help its stylish, stonefruit flavours race around the gums and tongue and keep the delicious toasty tension in the wine at peak position. It has personality and poise, cashew complexity and sophisticated, caramelised characters to finish. Outstanding with crispy-skinned, tender tarragon roast chicken. Drink now – 2029"

5 Stars Michael Cooper (2020 Vintage)
"The 2020 vintage is a classy, single-vineyard wine, youthful but already delicious. Bright, light yellow/green, it is fragrant and full-bodied, with rich, vibrant, well-ripened stonefruit flavours, slightly toasty notes adding complexity, balanced acidity and a long finish. Best drinking 2023+."
