Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2026-2030, Jancis Robinson MW, Jan 2026

A very toasty and smoky nose that combines struck-match reduction with clove, cinnamon and toast notes from oak. Ripe yellow apple and nectarine. Soft acidity. An opulent style, very different from the By Farr Chardonnay tasted just before this. (JRL)

Despite the infamously difficult 2023 vintage, Giaconda has pulled off another excellent world-class chardonnay. Aromas of lemons, struck match and granite as well as grapefruit peel, lime curd and nectarines. The seamlessly balanced palate shows striking acidity. The creamy, textured mouthfeel finishes with great power and intensity, supported by a salty mineral undertone. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
