2019 Xanadu Stevens Road Chardonnay 750ml

“Pure pristine and electrically charged chardonnay from this cooler but exceptional vintage. A burst of energy greets immediately with a subtle combination of butterscotch, grapefruit and citrus that delivers its kick with poised understatement. But the palate extends relentlessly to a wonderful minerally crisp finish, with that lifted acidity taking you into another zone.” –Ray Jordan

“Restrained and elegant with grapefruit, brioche and delicate salinity. Opens up in the glass beautifully to reveal white florals, gun flint and cheese rind characters. The palate is compact and focused there is a weight of core fruit that embraces the classy oak and leaves one wanting another look. Bright, refreshing acidity evident of the slightly cooler 2019 vintage, yet there is power and density here. Impressive stuff it will only get better with time and reward the drinker accordingly.” –Wine Pilot
