Tasting notes
Matured in 70% new, 500-liter Stockinger puncheons, the 2022 Chardonnay Summum has dramatically unfurling scents of matchstick, red apple, peach, roasted almonds and honey, becoming more expressive as it airs in the glass. The medium-bodied palate is brimming with concentrated, honeyed flavors. It’s balanced by fireworks of fresh acidity and has a very long, satiny finish. It’s a stunning iteration of Summum that should be long lived in the cellar. 344 cases were made.

The 2022 Chardonnay Summum exhibits the highest intensity in the range, with notes of white peach, fresh pineapple, powdery floral perfume, and smoky earth. It offers structured and full-bodied richness, with a bright spine of acidity and a chalky texture that never loses focus and clarity. Drink over the coming 12 years. The team at Evening Land is currently overseen by winemakers Sashi Moorman and John Faulkner.
Youthfully intense, the 2022 Chardonnay Summum is distinctly savory yet wickedly fresh, with notes of nectarine, spring flowers and wet stone wafting from the glass. Concentrated and densely packed, this floods the palate with soothingly ripe orchard fruits and sweet spices, complicated by hints of lemon custard. The 2022 takes on a crunchy sensation through the finish, structured and long with a mineral saturation that adds tactile precision. There is a long and bright future in store for patient collectors.
