Tasting notes
The 2023 Chardonnay Inspiras offers the most intensity and power in the range. It reveals layered notes of green apple candies, lime oils, saline, fresh almond, and floral perfume. Full-bodied, it has a satin-like texture that glides through the palate with a weightless lift, and it has good length as well as a chalky-textured finish. It will be best enjoyed over the coming 12 or so years.

The 2023 Chardonnay Inspiras entices with a delicate blend of white flowers, lemon zest, wet slate and incense forming its beguiling bouquet. It is texturally deep, mixing savory and sweet, with a silky wave of ripe orchard fruits as a cascade of inner florals swirls over a savory tinge of lime and gingery spice. The finish tapers off with dramatic length and gentle structure, leaving the palate salivating as nuances of inner flint and sour citrus fade.
