Decades Chardonnay 2024
£58.49

“The 2024 Chardonnay is powerful yet refined, slowly opening with aromas of grapefruit and nectarine, a strong flinty edge and well-integrated French oak. Fresh, chalky acidity provides an impactful start that continues in a sustained fashion through to a lengthy finish. Young and tight, but sure to flower beautifully over the next decade. Drinking window: 2028-2037. 95 points
Decades Wines is a collaboration between former Giant Steps winemaker Steve Flamsteed and Brad Rogers, focusing on a north-facing vineyard planted in 1990 in Coal River Valley. The quality of this site is clear, as this is only the second vintage, and the wines are exceptional. Flamsteed and Rogers have big aspirations: significant new plantings are now in place with a wide range of clones, showcasing Flamsteed’s experimental approach to viticulture and winemaking.”
