What a beautiful Chardonnay in the old-world style. I am so happy that I managed to find 2018 and taste it again (thanks, Ivan Om). Butter, honey, stone fruits, citrus, white flowers, apples and melon notes. Fresh, round, and almost perfectly balanced, with a long aftertaste and mineral finish. A wine to enjoy and to focus on.
About
Ada River wine is 100% Chardonnay sourced from a 40-years old vineyard in Manilla at 350m elevation, growing on volcanic soils. The vineyard has natural protection from the elements, creating a slightly more humid and stable environment. The wine spent 12 months in both old and new oak (30% new).
