Di Loro 2023 Chardonnay

TASTING NOTES
Dominant features are the characteristic lightness, freshness and minerality, hallmarks of the Niagara region’s soils and climate.

Appearance:
Pale lemon with greenish hues

Nose:
Lively and precise, offering citrus notes like lemon oil and lime peel, green apple, and a hint of white flowers. There is a strong mineral undertone, reminiscent of wet stones or sea breeze, with some flinty notes. As it opens, subtle hints of pear and a touch of fresh herbs.

Palate:
Crisp and taut, with a bracing acidity. The citrus notes are forward, along with green apple and pear. Evident is the decisive minerality reminiscent of oyster-shells, complemented by a chalky, saline edge. The slight touch of oak is meticulously integrated and in balance, respectful of the true backbone of this wine, its fresh acidity and minerality which suggest great aging potential. The mouthfeel is elegant, with a long, slatey, lingering finish that leaves a sense of freshness salinity and purity.
